Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been talking to the dead

With this photo album here in my bed

Picnics, parties, long ago

Some are strangers, many I know

[Refrain]

All those smiling faces

[Verse 2]

Now here's a wedding, and there's the bride

And my handsome dad smiling by her side

Just out of the frame, I guess a band is playing

And I wonder what words to him she's saying

[Refrain]

All those smiling faces

[Verse 3]

Second row, third from the right

Young Uncle Jim who got called up to fight

Beside him, Meg, his fiancée

Pretty Meg waited for a never-come day

[Chorus]

Ooh, get on the floor and dance

You don't have forever

Ooh, get out there and dance

Soon we'll all be together

[Verse 4]

There's Auntie Jean and her two beaux

The one behind her is the one she chose

Coming out of the water, they're all dripping wet

Oh, the jilted one doesn't know it yet

[Chorus]

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

[Verse 5]

Down the years, the family face

Keeps jumping around from place to place

A look, a shape, a nose, an eye

That everlasting thing that's never gonna die

[Chorus]

Ooh, get on the floor and dance

You don't have forever

Ooh, get out there and dance

Soon we'll all be together

We'll all be together

[Outro]

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)

All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
