about

A song about the adventure of and mystery of life

lyrics

The Finest Adventure (E. Delaney)
Once I met a Frenchman who gave me half his pie
I don’t speak any French
He didn’t speak any English
We shared a laugh and a pie and the beauty of the day
The beauty of the mountains

At a café in Amsterdam
It was a sit-down kind of show
I saw a dancer in the back smiling through her tears
She looked like a rainbow that had stepped out of the sky to dance
Everyone else was facing me

Was she real? Or was she make believe?

But I talked to her after the show
She said, “Life goes faster than you know when you are young.”
“You must dance and sing every chance you get.
Meet your life every day like you are in love.”
“Be in love with your life, child.”

In my pocket there’s a map, well really it’s a blank piece of paper
Let’s take a walk, let’s wander together
While there is still time
Before the sun goes down
The sun always goes down

Surely you and I can have the finest adventure

You have a map in your pocket, I have a map
You have a dream if you want it, I have a dream too
Let’s share our dreams
Let’s dance and sing together
This is our life, the sun is rising, before the night comes

I want to love you better and better and better and better
I want to love
