Light Romance

Lyrics

[NARRATOR, spoken] There's a girl inside the woman Who's waiting to get free She's washed a million dishes She's always making tea They think she's just a mother with nothing left inside Who swapped her dreams for drudgery The day she was a bride But the dreams were not forgotten Just wrapped and packed away In the hope that she could take them out And dust them off one day [LINDA] Could I speak to councillor Lyons, please? [NARRATOR] There's a girl inside the woman And the mother she became And her half-remembered song comes to her lips again [LINDA] Eddie, can I talk to ya? [NARRATOR] The girl would sing the melody But the woman stands in doubt and wonders What the price would be For letting the young girl out [LINDA] Yeah, I remember... (sung) [MRS JOHNSTONE] It's just a light romance It's nothing cruel They laid no plans How it came? Who can explain? They just said "Hello" And foolishly they gazed They should've gone Their separate ways It's just the same old song Nothing cruel Nothing wrong It's just two fools Who know the rules But break them all And grasp at half a chance To play their part In a light romance [MRS JOHNSTONE & NARRATOR] Loving on the never-never Constant as the changing weather Never sure Who's at the door [MRS JOHNSTONE] Or the price you're gonna have to pay It's just a secret glance Across a room A touch of hands That part too soon That same old tune That always plays And let's them dance as friends Then stand apart As the music ends [COMPANY] Loving on the never-never Constant as the changing weather Never sure [MRS JOHNSTONE] Who's at the door Or the price you're gonna have to...
