Hello, Dolly! - Before The Parade Passes By Lyrics
Before the parade passes byBefore it goes on, and only I'm leftBefore the parade passes byI've gotta get in step while there's still time leftI'm ready to move out in frontLife without life has no reason or rhyme leftWith the rest of them, with the best of themI wanna hold my head up highI need a goal again, I need a drive againI wanna feel my heart coming alive againBefore the parade passes byBefore the parade passes byI've gotta go and taste Saturday's high lifeBefore the parade passes byI've gotta get some life back into my lifeI'm ready to move out in frontI've had enough of just passing by lifeWith the rest of them, with the best of themI can hold my head up highFor I've got a goal again, I've got a drive againI wanna feel my heart coming alive againBefore the parade passes byWhen the parade passes byListen and hear that brass harmony growingWhen the parade passes byPardon me if my old spirit is showingAll of those lights over thereSeem to be telling me where I'm goingWhen the whistles blowAnd the cymbals crashAnd the sparklers light the skyI'm gonna raise the roofI'm gonna carry onGive me an old tromboneGive me an old batonBefore the parade passes by
