Art Garfunkel Disney Girls Lyrics

Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style

Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll

Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh, oh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage

Country shade and lemonade
Guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world
With a local girl in a smaller town

Open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Love, hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop, well good morning mom
Love, get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old time dances

All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed for the things I wished
They're all coming true

I've got my love to give and a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life with a forever wife
And a kid someday

It's earlier nights
And pillow fights and your soft laugh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

The song describes a man yearning ("But fantasy world and Disney girls, I'm coming back") for simpler times in small-town America ("1957" is mentioned in the t__le), with old-fashioned life and values. Bruce Johnson wrote this song in 1971, when America was experiencing rapid changes like s__ual revolution, rise of feminist movement, hippie counter-culture, and maybe he yearned for life and values from way back in the 1950s.
