Shorelines Lyrics by American Opera

Your Songs

0

Before slumber parties on the boat
Or pickin' pumpkins out with Grando...
Or riding bikes or racing boats
Up and down along the coast of the Grand Traverse Bay...
Before .e4 had a dime
Or swims along Northwestern shorelines...
There was a world that was wishing and waiting for you
Before you came true...
One day your mom met a man
And he took your mom by the hand...
But she lived a thousand miles away
So he packed up and moved to the Great Lakes...
So ask your dad about his bride
Ask your dad about his black eye...
And ask him why he wore more makeup than your mom on their wedding day...
Ask your mom about her groom
Ask your mom about your Grandpa...
You should have seen it when they danced around the room to his favorite tune...
My girl!
When you get older someday you will meet a man
And he'll ask your dad for your hand...
And if your father tells him no
He'll change his mind if you say so...
Remember that wherever you go you've always got a place to call your own...
You've always got a home wherever you go...
Another baby's on the way
You're growing older everyday...
So fall in line and take your time
As I'm sure you'll find it goes by too fast…
Someday you will meet a man
And he'll ask your dad for your hand...
And if your father tells him no
He'll change his mind if you say so...
And he'll walk with you proud down that aisle
And look at your mom and smile...
'Cause he'll remember how he felt that joy
When your mom walked down that aisle with Beepsy Boy...
