My best friend's daughter recently got married. They live on London Road, Godmanchester, UK. I wrote this for Ken Lee.
Lyrics
Leaving London Road
Copyright Feb 22, 2010 Stan Loh. Written for KV Lee on the eve of Caroline's wedding day.
Verse 1
He will wait in full regalia,
He will cry when he sees her,
The organ will join in,
There's happiness within,
My tears are in a well,
In an hour they will swell,
For when the sun comes up,
My baby's leaving London Road.
Verse 2
They will kiss as man and wife,
They'll begin a blessed new life,
My woman will try her best,
To smile at all our guests,
Her kitchen, a carrousel,
In her mind wedding bells,
For when the sun comes up,
Her baby's leaving London Road.
Bridge
We often prayed that she would find the right man,
To share her dreams, make true her plans
Instrumental
Verse 3
Take her hand and walk the aisle,
Beaming smiles her swagger style,
The proudest man today,
Will take our girl away,
He's the answer to our dreams,
A new chapter, new regime,
For when the sun comes up,
Our baby's leaving London Road?
For when the sun comes up,
Our baby's leaving London Road.
