Before The Parade Passes By — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)

Before the parade passes by





Dolly

Before the parade passes by

Before it goes on, and only Im left

Before the parade passes by

Ive gotta get in step while theres still time left

Im ready to move out in front

Life without life has no reason or rhyme left

With the rest of them

With the best of them

I wanna hold my head up high

I need a goal again

I need a drive again

I wanna feel my heart coming alive again

Before the parade passes by...

Before the parade passes by

Ive gotta go and taste saturdays high life

Before the parade passes by

Ive gotta get some life back into my life

Im ready to move out in front

Ive had enough of just passing by life

With the rest of them

With the best of them

I can hold my head up high

For Ive got a goal again

Ive got a drive again

I wanna feel my heart coming alive again

Before the parade passes by



[interlude]



All:

When the parade passes by

Listen and hear that brass harmony growing

When the parade passes by

Pardon me if my old spirit is showing

All of those lights over there

Seem to be telling me where Im going



Dolly:

When the whistles blow

And the cymbals crash

And the sparklers light the sky

Im gonna raise the roof

Im gonna carry on

Give me an old trombone

Give me an old baton

Before the parade passes by!
