August 21st, 1953
Let's set the scene!
♪
The table's set with the silver cutlery
The crystal's out for the champagne Chardonnay
To celebrate the anniversary of 9 years ago when he came back home
Please come in and take a seat!
You're all on cue, the party's just beginning
He's right inside, our proud marine!
Man of the hour, reason that we've all convened
Let me propose a toast
To a husband and a father
Brave, he gave us hope
His absence tortured me!
Can just imagine all the evil that he has seen?!
I watch him while he dreams!
He stays asleep through the sweats and the screams!
It's haunting him, so it's haunting me!
So I'll just take my perfect smile and just let it be!
The table's set with the silver cutlery
The crystal's out for the champagne Chardonnay
To celebrate the anniversary of 9 years ago when he came back home
And now when he leaves on business trips and meetings
It makes me feel sick and incomplete
Our boy needed his father home
I was on my own, disunited home
♪
His charming smile, it's hypnotic, pleasantry
Either that or maybe too much wine
Tingles up my spine and makes my body weak!
Intoxicating
I'm feeling jaded, overjoyed I know it shows I hope they all can see
Preeminence in this life we lead
Captivated by the love that we share I hope they all can see!

Intoxicating!
I'm feeling jaded, overjoyed, dumb and giddy, and a little dizzy
The room is spinning and it's making me!
Feel faint, faded fall to the floor make a scene
With all the eyes in the room, I sure hope that no one can see
