The Lyrics
Thanks to AFW for reminding me how much I love this original song.
Send In The Gowns
Where’d the time go? Doesn’t seem fair ?
You standing proud on the stage and me in this chair
Send in the gowns
Twelve years gone by… time to move on
Your graduation is here and soon you’ll be gone
And there are the gowns…blue and white gowns
One time I thought…you’d stay a child
Seeing those changes in you left me mostly beguiled
Making decisions that you thought were not always fair
Soon I’ll look-up
You won’t be there
Don't you love this life ? Few do, I fear
I’ve tried to show the world’s beauty…to you my dear
And still love the clowns…look for the clowns
Don't bother…I’m here
Isn't it strange? Isn't it new?
Losing my daughter this way… an organ cue
And you in that gown… Pretty white gown
Well…he’s waiting for you…

Hmm, poignant and thought provoking, more so than the original. Another one today that has a story behind it that isn't quite clear, almost like a Raymond Carver story. But I liked it, don't get me wrong.
Excellent and beautiful rewrite here, IB...much enjoyed read
beautifully written...every bit as elegant as the OS
IB - My congrats and condolence to the proud father. But just remember commencment means begin - not end. Well done. It's been so long ago but I think someone speaking at my graduation used the commence begin/end line. Excellent write - well paced and professional.
The relationship between Father & Daughter is the most 'primal' one of all . . . It really colors the 'view of Life' that a woman carries with her throughout ~The Journey~! You did a fine job, Sir .
Beats the original lyrics, which nobody can sing unless they're standing on stage. On a scale of one to ten, ten being uncontrollable sobbing, I give this a nine. Nine hankies. If you could put a country beat on it, make that a whole box.
I was looking for a graduation themed parody. I guess I found one.
