Lyrics
While the Mandolins Played (Duet with Paula Clare)
I remember the party lights strung across the beams
That squeaky Dutch door always gave away our schemes
The hay on the floor ready for a step or two
While the mandolins played a song for me and you
I remember you twirling in that pretty summer dress
I remember that ice cream you bought - you made such a mess
Somehow we knew life would carry us through
While the mandolins played a song for me and you
I’m just a boy in love with a girl
An old memory - asking her to dance
I'm just a girl in love with a boy
Trying cleverly - to say yes he can
Now the summer's gone, and the swallows left the nest
I know they’re coming back, but I don’t know when
Somehow we knew love would carry us through
While the mandolins played a song for me and you
