Light Romance

A song by Blood Brothers Cast.

Narrator:

There’s a girl inside the woman who’s waiting to get free
She’s washed a million dishes
She’s always making tea
They think she’s just a mother with nothing left inside
Who swapped her dreams for drudgery the day she was a bride

But the dreams were not forgotten
Just wrapped and packed away
In the hope that she could take them out and dust them off one day.

“Hello. Could I talk to Councillor Lyons please?”

There’s a girl inside the woman and the mother she became
And a half-remembered song comes to her lips again.

“Eddie, can I talk to you? Yeah… I remember.”

The girl would sing the melody but the woman stands in doubt and wonders what the price would be for letting the young girl out.

Cast:

It’s just a light romance
Nothing cruel, they laid no plans
How it came, who can explain?
They just stepped along and foolishly they gazed
They should have gone their separate ways

It’s just the same old song
Nothing cruel, nothing wrong
It’s just two fools who know the rules
But break them all and grasp their half a chance
To play their part in the light romance

Loving on the never, never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure who’s at the door
Or the price they’re gonna have to pay

It’s just a secret glance across a room
A touch of hands that part too soon
That same old tune that always plays and lets them dance as friends
Then stand apart as the music ends

Loving on the never, never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure who’s at the door
Or the price they’ll have to pay…
