simon jolly - moment in the sun (the 2nd wedding of rob and emily) lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
i’ll sing a song of lanouaille
a story told in rhyme
when shit friend married emily
who never changed her mind
we gathered from across the seas
brought here on a summer breeze
that tells you in a whisper
of a new life just begun

[verse 2]
the irony of having left
before we all arrived
talking is always turning
to these new uncertain times
but friendships that were made to last
are never only in the past
when all those bonds are stronger
than the p-ssing of the years

[verse 3]
married underneath the trees
to the sound of violins
the bride was after water
and not a triple gin
a demon speech, a tribute to
the wisdom of the tao of pooh
the only interruption was
a phone call for le mayor

[chorus]
these days are golden
the very best of times
a gentle magic
illuminates our lives
and when the memories have faded
in the years to come:
we’ll still have our
moment in the sun

[verse 4]
wagers on the speeches
but beaso fixed the price
introductions led by leon
his blue b-lls in a vice
auntie anne and uncle ray
tired from the wedding day
told us of a little girl
who grew into a bride

[verse 5]
when rhyming simon took the floor
we could have laughed till dawn
but sam he couldn’t take his drink
so slept out on the lawn
ever grateful to dr. ed
who came and said: “it’s time for bed;
“he’s sleeping:
“tomorrow he’ll be fine”

[verse 6]
tenderly he held her
two hearts joined as one
encircling the love they made
like planets round the sun
“i’ve told a thousand tales
“but know this to be true:
“the best thing that i ever had
“is you”

[chorus]
these days are golden
the very best of times
a gentle magic
illuminates our lives
and when the memories have faded
in the years to come:
we’ll still have our
moment in the sun

[verse 7]
the pool house was a dormitory
that wasn’t in the plan
so good for dom and lorna
for sleeping in the van
a shock that rob’s inebriated
marriage not quite consummated
wouldn’t be the first time
that he p-ssed out on the floor

[verse 8]
so now the morning after
with heads a little sore
and telling all the stories
that we learned the night before
lorena’s slumber interrupted
dan’s new gardener can’t be trusted
it’s strange you know:
he’s still dressed as a man

[verse 9]
so that’s my song of lanouaille
a story told in rhyme
when emily and robert
got hitched a second time
so chateau la durantie
we bid a fond farewell…
for now you see
there’s no more tale to tell

[chorus]
these days are golden
the very best of times
a gentle magic
illuminates our lives
and when the memories have faded
in the years to come:
we’ll still have our
moment in the sun

[chorus]
these days are golden
the very best of times
a gentle magic
illuminates our lives
and when the memories have faded
in the years to come:
we’ll still have our
moment in the sun

[instrumental outro]
