lirik lagu alan bell - the band in the park
[verse]
a young man went courting one bright afternoon
so smart as he stepped into town
his boots shone like glass, and they creaked as he walked
and he wore his flat cap like a crown
in a row of terraced houses each front steps so clean
a young lass peeked through curtain lace
when he turned ’round the corner, she reached for her coat
a welcoming smile on her face
[chorus]
for the band in the park played an old~fashioned waltz
as they strolled through the gates hand in hand
and they laughed and they chatted with the people they knew
to the strains of their favourite brass band
while the kids were so noisy as they swung on the swings
men played so quietly at bowls
old ladies looked on or just dozed in the sun
as the band played and old~fashioned waltz
[verse]
when they were married, they soon settled down
to a life that suited them both well
though times were so hard and the money was scarce
he did best as he could with a will
then came all the children, two boys and a girl
he called them the light of his life
and for a treat on a sunday, if the weather was fine
he’d step out once more with his wife
[chorus]
oh the band in the park played an old~fashioned waltz
as they strolled through the gates hand in hand
and they laughed and they chatted with the people they knew
to the strains of their favourite brass band
while the kids were so noisy as they swung on the swings
men played so quietly at bowls
old ladies looked on or just dozed in the sun
as the band played and old~fashioned waltz
[verse]
along came the war, and he was soon called away
to serve both his country and king
he fought in the desert and italy’s rain
and learned as a soldier to sing
of lili marlene and the white cliffs of dover
and all of his mates bless ’em all
but when he was lonely, with the letters from home
there was always one time he’d recall
[chorus]
when the band in the park played an old~fashioned waltz
as they strolled through the gates hand in hand
and they laughed and they chatted with the people they knew
to the strains of their favourite brass band
while the kids were so noisy as they swung on the swings
men played so quietly at bowls
old ladies looked on or just dozed in the sun
as the band played and old~fashioned waltz
[verse]
when it was finished, he laid down his gun
six years of his life had gone by
his kids didn’t know him, a stranger to them
but his wife was so happy she cried
he soon set about him, to build a new life
for that’s what he fought for and won
to watch o’er his children and give them a chance
yet soon they had grown up and gone
[verse]
now too he has passed on, and his wife lives alone
in the house where they’d started so poor
his boots shine like glass for she cleans them up still
and his hat hangs beside the front door
her grandchildren cheer her whenever they call
and she’s happy to join in their games
she keeps herself busy at the old peoples club
but somehow its not quite the same
[chorus]
when the band in the park played an old~fashioned waltz
as they strolled through the gates hand in hand
and they laughed and they chatted with the people they knew
to the strains of their favourite brass band
while the kids were so noisy as they swung on the swings
men played so quietly at bowls
old ladies looked on or just dozed in the sun
as the band played and old~fashioned waltz
