《A Wedding in Connecticut》歌词

[00:00:00] A Wedding In Connecticut - Ron Pope

[00:00:14] There was a pretty girl

[00:00:17] From some small suburb of Dallas

[00:00:20] And she came up to New York with a dream

[00:00:27] In the confusion and the noise

[00:00:30] All of her beauty and her poise

[00:00:34] Turned grey like snow beside the city street

[00:00:41] She met a boy named Steven

[00:00:44] They made love in his apartment

[00:00:48] In a second story walk up out in Queens

[00:00:54] And the things she hoped to find

[00:00:57] Beneath him on that August night

[00:01:01] Was the farthest thing from her

[00:01:04] As she dressed to leave

[00:01:08] So she hides her eyes

[00:01:13] Says a slow goodbye

[00:01:18] Swears by the morning light she'll be fine

[00:01:25] At a wedding in Connecticut

[00:01:29] The mother of the bride

[00:01:32] They dreams about her husband who just past

[00:01:39] As stands to give her toast

[00:01:42] She says the only thing i know

[00:01:46] Is when you find a love thats worth it

[00:01:49] Make it last

[00:01:53] So she chokes back the tears

[00:01:56] And speaks of all her daughters years

[00:01:59] Thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps

[00:02:06] And the speech was silent sweet

[00:02:09] She kisses guests as they all leave

[00:02:13] Then heads of to her hotel room to eat

[00:02:20] So she bides her time

[00:02:25] And says a slow goodbye

[00:02:30] Swears by the morning light she'll be fine

[00:02:37] Yeah she hides her eyes

[00:02:42] Though its hard some nights

[00:02:47] She'll take her own sweet time and she'll be fine

[00:03:22] A welder who spent twenty years

[00:03:26] Working in an auto plant

[00:03:29] Gets late off on a thursday afternoon

[00:03:35] And he grips the fourty-five

[00:03:39] Thats rests in the glove box when he drives

[00:03:42] Then puts the gun away and wonders what to do

[00:03:50] So he parks in his driveway

[00:03:53] And head against the steering wheel

[00:03:56] And tries to think what to tell his wife

[00:04:03] And in the kitchen he explains

[00:04:06] And swears they'll be okay

[00:04:09] She says you're the only i need in this life

[00:04:16] So he bides his time

[00:04:22] And says a slow goodbye

[00:04:26] Swears by the morning light he'll be fine

[00:04:34] Yeah she hides his eyes

[00:04:39] Though its hard some nights

[00:04:44] He'll take his own sweet time and he'll be fine
