Vaudeville Nanna and The Banjolele Waiting for me and a rainy day Trying to cross road, they all look like candy Guitars behind glass that I wanted to play I beg for one, oh, but dad's just a teacher Could barely afford to buy me such things I woke him up at 3 in the morning Asked him to tune the extra two strings They're the best days of my life I can never get back What will never be again Bur i can close my eyes And I can see them, oh My dear old mom, frustrated actress Reluctant victory, writing with me My first attempt at filling the pages She was the angel, the angel you see They're the best days of my life I can never get back What will never be again But I can close my eyes And I can see Them, see them I have this dream, we're at the table Sharing verses, stories and song Vaudeville Nanna an The Banjolele She hans it to me and I play along They're the best days of my life I can never get back What will never be again But I can close my eyes And I can see Them, see them
