Big Parade

I found out

There's nothing better than a Big Parade

There's people there of each and every shade

And everyone's wearing a smile

And I found out

There's nothing sweeter than a gig like that

I'll ride a horse, and wear a big white hat

And I will be wearing a smile

Once in a while I think I'd like to get away

Leave this crowd, if only for a day

Kneel on the hill and watch the big balloons go by

And you can be there when I cry

I found out

There's nothing finer than a holy day

We'll act as if it's the only day

If only for a while

And I found out

That I love being in the Big Parade

'Cause every now and then you find some shade

And everyone's wearing a smile

I tip my hat and smile and wink and wave

Have we been here all day?

But I found out there's nothing better than the Big Parade

There's people there of each and every shade

And everyone's wearing a smile

And I found out

That I love being in the Big Parade

Because every now and then you find some shade

And everyone's wearing a smile

(Won't you smile for me?)
