[00:08.780]My father always promised us that we would live in France
[00:17.210]We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance
[00:24.860]We lived in Ohio then, he worked in the mines
[00:32.920]On his dreams like boats we knew we'd sail in time
[00:52.900]All my sisters soon were gone to Denver and Cheyenne
[01:00.950]Marrying their grownup dreams the lilacs and the man
[01:08.970]I stayed behind the youngest still only danced alone
[01:17.250]The colors of my father's dreams faded without a sound
[01:37.690]And I live in Paris now my children dance and dream
[01:45.300]Hearing the ways of a miner's life in words they've never seen
[01:53.190]I sail my memories of home like boats across the seine
[02:01.710]And watch the Paris sun set in my father's eyes again
[02:43.970]My father always promised us that we would live in France
[02:52.190]We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance
[03:00.100]I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine
[03:08.790]And watch the Paris sun as it sets in my father's eyes again
