december 3rd - vance gilbert lyrics
[verse 1]
hey lucy
all the prep school guys you dated
left your once keen edge serrated
but you left them in your wake
december 3rd
when you chose to lose your polish
leave the debutantes astonished
back at home on christmas break
you kissed me
like i was some other species
like you were working on your thesis
for experience’s sake
do you remember
blowing smoke rings at the ceiling
while the campus bells were pealing
for the love that we just made?
[chorus]
what do you tell your children curious
for the straight story of your first love?
what makes their father oh so furious
whenever the topic rolls around?
they’re coming of age
he’s coming apart
they come to terms
where do you start?
mamma’s distracted
she don’t say a word
this always happens december 3rd
[verse 2]
hey lucy
there’s your daddy’s big donation
and his sterling reputation
as an alma mater’s kin
across a nameplate
on the wall of the dormitory
where you told me your life story like
like a page from gone with the wind
you kissed me
ah but what would daddy say?
i could pass for his valet
what would all the neighbors think?
do you remember
we made love beyond our stations
it’s not dinner conversation
kids, take your dishes to the sink
[chorus]
what do you tell your children curious
for the straight story of your first love?
what makes their father oh so furious
whenever the topic rolls around?
they’re coming of age
he’s coming apart
they come to terms
where do you start?
mamma’s distracted
she don’t say a word
this always happens december 3rd
[guitar solo]
[chorus]
she’s locked in the bath, he don’t understand
he bangs on the door, he throws up his hands
the kids all get it
it’s clearly marked on the calendar downstairs
they’re coming of age
he’s coming apart
they come to terms
where do you start?
mamma’s distracted
she don’t say a word
this always happens december 3rd
