When the Band Begins to Play

To the park on Sunday they would take me to see a concert band
I remember Grandpa when the band began to play
He would sing along, everyone was happy
He would sing along when the band began to play

After many summers I grew up, and I had to journey far away
I missed the Sunday mornings when the band began to play
We would sing along, everyone was happy
We would sing along when the band began to play

Home again, my love and I were married among the lemon trees
Was in the park on Sunday, and the band began to play
We all sang along, everyone was happy
We all sang along when the band began to play

I remember Grandpa tellin' me what a nice town this could be
If together we would sing when the band begins to play
We can sing along, everyone be happy
We can sing along when the band begins to play

We can sing along, everyone be happy
We can sing along when the band begins to play

We can sing along, everyone be happy
We can sing along when the band begins to play

We can sing along, everyone be happy
We can sing along when the band begins to play
