    Lyrics:
    I guess the dance is over now
    So you just curtsey and I'll bow
    And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
    Then I'll just take what's left of me
    Right back to where it used to be
    And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky
    I wish I could have made it
    More like the movies for you
    Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
    I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    Did you girl?
    No you never got to hear those violins, no
    The castles that you built so high
    Were just too steep for me to climb
    And I guess these dirty streets of mine
    Were just too rough for you
    I wish I could've helped you see
    Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
    But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true
    And I wish I could have made it
    More like the movies for you
    Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
    I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    Did you girl?
    No you never got to hear those violins
    Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    No you never got to hear those violins

      Definitely the best songs ever. I’ve been “hooked” on Dr Hook since I heard them as an impressionable 8 year old & I’ve followed them ever since. Nearly 40 years later & I still love them as much as I did back when was a child. Their songs just hit different 👌🏼🎶🎤🎸🎶👌🏼

      @JohnDoe-qu5wy Před 2 lety +3

      Absolutely agree. And the band, as a whole, totally underrated. I am from Latin America, and I can’t understand how these guys are not even known down there (at least not as much as others like The Hollies, Simon and Garfunkel, etc). I was very glad to see Vince Gilligan use one of their songs in the movie El Camino, so some of the new generations can be exposed to this amazing band.

    My dad's favorite band , ❤️ the most beautiful love songs ever. I was fortunate to meet Ray at a county fair in oregon and see him live it was phenomenal they were my first crush especially Ray, growing up not a soul knew who they were cds were impossible to find unless ordered from across seas and took a month or two to get. Anyways I'm just so happy people know and love them as I do and my dad did.

    • @xjackiex24
