There they were on stage,
The big band.
Five saxes, four trumpets,
Four trombones,
Piano, guitar, bass and drums,
Creating this wonderful sound,
The sound of swing,
The sound of swing that was there,
There in my early times on this world.
Then they played that song,
That song that brought my dad to me,
And brought me to tears,
One of his favourite tunes.
I just stopped and listened,
Listened to this tune,
The one that was played,
Played at his funeral.
I also played it later at Mum’s funeral,
And on this occasion
While it was being played
There in front of me I saw them,
Saw my Mum and Dad dancing,
Dancing together once more
As their Spirits became one.
