The story in this song
Arthur and Denise borrowed speakers for their wedding reception. He drove buses; she altered dresses. Between them, they raised Ben, Louise and Nina. Now the children have booked a hall for their fiftieth anniversary, and the grandchildren are waiting to dance. The song brings the family back to the couple who started it all.
Make a 50th anniversary song for your parents from the memories your own family shares.
Lyrics
You borrowed someone's speakers For the evening in the hall Denise had sewn her wedding dress Arthur nearly missed the call Someone's uncle took the pictures Someone's cousin brought the cake You two couldn't stop your dancing When they tried to clear the place
You were only making promises You couldn't see the room tonight
And look what you started Look around this room All this talking, all this laughing Started with the two of you Look what you started Fifty years ago You put a little love in motion Now look how far it goes
Dad was driving early buses Mum had dresses on the rail There were pins beside the teacups And a song above the stairs Friday meant the kitchen radio And our homework pushed aside You would give each other one more dance Before you called it a night
We learned the steps by watching you Now let us give the floor to you
Look what you started Look around this room All this talking, all this laughing Started with the two of you Look what you started Fifty years ago You put a little love in motion Now look how far it goes
Ben has got the music ready Louise has moved the chairs Nina's trying to take a picture But the children won't stay there Arthur, take Denise's hand There's a favourite coming on Let the rest of us remember Who we got this dancing from
Look what you started Look around this room All these names and all these stories Started with the two of you Look what you started Fifty years ago You put a little love in motion Now look how far it goes
Arthur and Denise Take the floor, take it slow Ooh, look what you started And look how far it goes
