All Those Smiling Faces

I've been talking to the dead

With this photo album here in my bed

Picnics, parties, long ago

Some are strangers, many I know

All those smiling faces

Now here's a wedding, and there's the bride

And my handsome dad smiling by her side

Just out of the frame, I guess a band is playing

And I wonder what words to him she's saying

All those smiling faces

Second row, third from the right

Young Uncle Jim who got called up to fight

Beside him, Meg, his fiancée

Pretty Meg waited for a never-come day

Ooh, get on the floor and dance

You don't have forever

Ooh, get out there and dance

Soon we'll all be together

There's Auntie Jean and her two beaux

The one behind her is the one she chose

Coming out of the water, they're all dripping wet

Oh, the jilted one doesn't know it yet

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

Down the years, the family face

Keeps jumping around from place to place

A look, a shape, a nose, an eye

That everlasting thing that's never gonna die

Ooh, get on the floor and dance

You don't have forever

Ooh, get out there and dance

Soon we'll all be together

We'll all be together

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
