Drop the Needle On the Record Baby Head and Heels Deep In Love

Drop the Needle on the Record And that sweet soul music blast " Baby " Sorry " Grandad " A relic now from a previous age And when you do and it begins Listen very carefully to whence it starts To that beautiful cracking sound it makes And just sit back relax As it slowly takes and makes you drift further back and back in time And in doing so triggers fresh new memories you though you lost and who you had left behind And makes you feel both happy and youthful once again Maybe reminding you of your first love very first dance Who they were and where you met them And what it felt like once upon a time to be young and fall in love for the very first time You choose as the song to dance with your wife at your wedding The very same cracking noise that enters and plays out in your head Which you are left with on repeat and tenders your mouth dry and speechless When you are truly dumbstruck in the presence of someone you not only just like But probably have already fallen head over heels and deeply in love with
