Walking in the Park
A 'novelty foxtrot' written in my sleep on 22Aug 2016...right down to the French accordian and tap-dancing solo... don't ask...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
(D) A
You were walking in the park
D
I was watching through the railings
A
It was getting rather dark
D D7
Near the end of the day
G Gm
Being slow off the mark
D Bm
Was never one of my failings
A
You were walking in the Park
D
But you were heading my way
When I saw you drop your glove
There was never hesitation
Manna falling from above
As I awaited my chance
That was enough
To send me headlong to flirtation
Would it be love
And a beautiful romance
Break: (also intro)
Gm D
Gm Bm A G E7 A
Instrumental (French tapdancing and accordion solo….?)
You were getting near the gate
I was strolling up behind you
With a story to relate
And a thought to impart
It was your fate
As I later would remind you
As you walked through the gate
We’d a future to start
