Paroles de All Those Smiling Faces

I've been talking to the dead
With this photo album here in my bed
Picnics, parties, long ago
Some are strangers, many I know

All those smiling faces

Now here's a wedding, and there's the bride
And my handsome dad smiling by her side
Just out of the frame, I guess a band is playing
And I wonder what words to him she's saying

All those smiling faces

Second row, third from the right
Young Uncle Jim who got called up to fight
Beside him, Meg, his fiancée
Pretty Meg waited for a never-come day

Ooh, get on the floor and dance
You don't have forever
Ooh, get out there and dance
Soon we'll all be together

There's Auntie Jean and her two beaux
The one behind her is the one she chose
Down the years, the family face
Keeps jumping around from place to place
A look, a shape, a nose, an eye
That everlasting thing that's never gonna die

Ooh, get on the floor and dance
You don't have forever
Ooh, get out there and dance
Soon we'll all be together
We'll all be together

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
