Melanie - My Father Lyrics
My father always promised us
We would live in France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time
All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man
I stayed behind the youngest still
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound
And now I live in Paris
My children dance and dream
Hearing the story of a miner's life
In words they've never seen
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And I watch the Paris sun
Set in my father's eyes again
My father always promised us
We would live in France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
La la la la...

Melanie My Father Comments
My brother had this album on 8 track back in 1972. My brother
John used to drive me into school
With this whole album playing on the 8 track my mom didn't like her
It used to depress her because
Through out every song on this album melainie Safka sounded
Like she was going to cry
And it depressed my mom
And we stopped playing it
Anyway my brother passed away
In 1999.
This song brings back memories
Of being driven to school
In my mom's firebird with a brown
Bag cheese sandwich and an Apple and seeing snow covered
The ground as well as the little
White school house where
Mrs Lois Orht my school teacher
Taught us lessons and played
Storie records to us kids
Those are my memories of this
