When I lost my dad, I was ten years old
Had a heart filled with venom and poisonous tongue
Hated everything about the whole damn world
Mom was tough as they come and she held us close
Tried to raise us to the standards of his ghost
It was hard on her, guess it was hard on us too
But when some had no one, we had a village to get us through
Years have flown by
Somehow we've survived
Somewhat broken hearted
But willing enough to try
Tell me that you'll be there
And we'll hear dance music from down below
Walking arm in arm through the summer air
With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road
We lost my dad when I was ten years old
I got his record collection and stereo console
I learned every word, sang every line
Trying to find the man I was sure was hidden inside
Let's breathe the summer air
Dance underneath the moonlight
We'll steal kisses under the oaks
And I'll be loving life
Tell me that you'll be there
And we'll hear dance music from down below
Walking arm in arm through the summer air
With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road
We lost my dad when I was ten years old
I got his record collection and stereo console
I learned every word, sang every line
It's the old songs and old friends that have kept me alive
Let's breathe the summer air
Dance underneath the moonlight
We'll steal kisses under the oaks
And I'll be loving life
