lyrics

4. THE EIGHTS SONG
(R. Stark)

John, Georgette and Peter, Annabelle and Sue
And Mack and me and you
It was winter, but I can't recall the date
At Sue and Peter's, back in 1948

You can tell the lights were low, the smoke was thick
I turned to look at you, the camera clicked
Our exile in the south was at an end
And you were happy to return to Michigan

CHORUS:
But in that coming year
We hoped that luck would find us
Honor and beauty and blessing from above
And that the sum of our love would be greater than the struggle
The difference between us not greater than our love

We shored our faith at the beginning of each day
And we drank and danced as long as we could pay
I would have never believed if I'd been told
How quickly time would pass as I grew old

CHORUS
