Artist/Band: John Denver
Lyrics for Song: Dance Little Jean
Lyrics for Album: Forever John [1998]



Played a weddin' for the money

And I wish I could've told the bride and groom

Just what I think of marriage and

What's in store after the honeymoon

I was rumblin' through the verses

'Bout how men and women ought to live apart

How a promise never made

Cannot be broken and can never break a heart



Suddenly from out of nowhere

This little girl came spinning across the floor

Her crinolines were billowing beneath the

Skirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored guests

Each one of them was drawn into her dream

And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands

And hollered at her "dance little Jean!"



And they said dance little Jean

This day is for you

Two people that you love

Stood up to say I do



Dance little Jean

A prayer that you had

Was answered today

Your mom is marrying your dad



Well the cynics heart just melted

As I figure what this gift together meant

And how it ended years of tears

And sad confusion that the little girl had spent



They told the band to pack it up

About the time the couple cut the cake

But we stayed and we played all night long

For love and laughs and little Jeannie sake



We played dance little Jean

This day is for you

Two people that you love

Stood up to say I do



Dance little Jean

A prayer that you had

Was answered today

Your mom is marrying your dad



And we said dance little Jean

This day is for you

Two people that you love

Stood up to say I do



Dance little Jean

A prayer that you had

Was answered today

Your mom is marrying your dad
