Was answered today
Stood up to say I do
And how it ended years of tears
As I figure what this gift together meant
We played dance, little Jean
Was answered today
Suddenly from out of nowhere
A prayer that you had
And they said, dance little Jean
Two people that you love
This day is for you
Dance, little Jean
And hollered at her, "Dance, little Jean"
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
'Bout how men and women ought to live apart
Two people that you love
Dance, little Jean
What's in store after the honeymoon?
Was answered today
This little girl came spinning across the floor
And we said dance little Jean
Stood up to say I do
They told the band to pack it up
This day is for you
Your mom is marrying your dad
Cannot be broken and can never break a heart
Two people that you love
Well, the cynics heart just melted
About the time the couple cut the cake
A prayer that you had
Stood up to say I do
But we stayed and we played all night long
Her crinolines were billowing beneath
Just what I think of marriage
A prayer that you had
Your mom is marrying your dad
Dance, little Jean
I was rumblin' through the verses
And sad confusion that the little girl had spent
This day is for you
As her joy fell on the honored guests
The skirt of calico she wore
For love and laughs and little Jeannie sake
How a promise never made
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
