------------------------------------ August 21st, 1953
Let me set the scene! (Chorus 1st 1/2) The table's set with the silver cutlery The crystal's out for the champagne, Chardonnay To celebrate the anniversary of 9 years ago, when he came back home
Please come in and take a seat You're all on cue the party's just beginning He's right inside, our proud marine Man of the hour, reason that we've all convened Let me propose a toast To a husband and a father Brave, he gave us hope
His absence tortured me Can just imagine all the evil hat he has see I watch him while he dreams He stays asleep through the sweats and the screams It's haunting him, so it's haunting me I'll just take my perfect smile and just let it be
(CHORUS) The table's set with the silver cutlery The crystal's out for the champagne, Chardonnay To celebrate the anniversary of 9 years ago, when he came back home And now when he leaves on business trips and the meetings It makes me feel sick and incomplete Our boy needed is father home I was on my own Disunited home
His charming smile it's hypnotic pleasantry Either that or maybe too much wine Tingles up my spine and makes my body weak
Intoxicating In feeling jaded, overjoyed I know it shows I hope they all can see Preeminence in this life we lead Captivated by the love that we share I hope they all can see
(CHORUS)
Intoxicating I'm feeling jaded, overjoyed, dumb and gritty, and a little dizzy The room is spinning and it's making me Feel faint, faded fall to the floor make a scene With all the eyes in the room I sure hope that no one can see!
