The Bride's Dad
Rostam, Hamilton Leithauser
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
My ginger voice was raw with smoke They hid their smiles when I stood and spoke Some sunny lawn, some Saturday A face was flushed when I went to sing Wild Mountain Thyme But I was crying before the second line The strawberry stripes across my ruddy cheeks got em giggling My eyes are red and wild and white As I choked up over another line For years and year I disappeared Tonight I'm here and I'm giving my best It's all I have The grandkids laugh My linen vest is yellow stained And my teeth are chipped, my beard is gray Your mother left, she's not impressed The wedding guests are starting to get restless And I think I have worn out my welcome But I swear I caught you smile From the corner of my eye When they threw me off the stage Oh I know I saw you smiling I swear I saw you smiling They carried me away Through the center of the crowd On the corner of my eye I swear I saw you smiling You'll always be my darling, sweetheart
