A Wedding In Connecticut - Ron Pope[00:00:00]
There was a pretty girl[00:00:14]
From some small suburb of Dallas[00:00:17]
And she came up to New York with a dream[00:00:20]
In the confusion and the noise[00:00:27]
All of her beauty and her poise[00:00:30]
Turned grey like snow beside the city street[00:00:34]
She met a boy named Steven[00:00:41]
They made love in his apartment[00:00:44]
In a second story walk up out in Queens[00:00:48]
And the things she hoped to find[00:00:54]
Beneath him on that August night[00:00:57]
Was the farthest thing from her[00:01:01]
As she dressed to leave[00:01:04]
So she hides her eyes[00:01:08]
Says a slow goodbye[00:01:13]
Swears by the morning light she'll be fine[00:01:18]
At a wedding in Connecticut[00:01:25]
The mother of the bride[00:01:29]
They dreams about her husband who just past[00:01:32]
As stands to give her toast[00:01:39]
She says the only thing i know[00:01:42]
Is when you find a love thats worth it[00:01:46]
Make it last[00:01:49]
So she chokes back the tears[00:01:53]
And speaks of all her daughters years[00:01:56]
Thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps[00:01:59]
And the speech was silent sweet[00:02:06]
She kisses guests as they all leave[00:02:09]
Then heads of to her hotel room to eat[00:02:13]
So she bides her time[00:02:20]
And says a slow goodbye[00:02:25]
Swears by the morning light she'll be fine[00:02:30]
Yeah she hides her eyes[00:02:37]
Though its hard some nights[00:02:42]
She'll take her own sweet time and she'll be fine[00:02:47]
A welder who spent twenty years[00:03:22]
Working in an auto plant[00:03:26]
Gets late off on a thursday afternoon[00:03:29]
And he grips the fourty-five[00:03:35]
Thats rests in the glove box when he drives[00:03:39]
Then puts the gun away and wonders what to do[00:03:42]
So he parks in his driveway[00:03:50]
And head against the steering wheel[00:03:53]
And tries to think what to tell his wife[00:03:56]
And in the kitchen he explains[00:04:03]
And swears they'll be okay[00:04:06]
She says you're the only i need in this life[00:04:09]
So he bides his time[00:04:16]
And says a slow goodbye[00:04:22]
Swears by the morning light he'll be fine[00:04:26]
Yeah she hides his eyes[00:04:34]
Though its hard some nights[00:04:39]
He'll take his own sweet time and he'll be fine[00:04:44]
