Grandaddy Lyrics

Sleigh bells ring
The sound of sleigh bells can be heard.

Are you listening
Are you paying attention to the sounds around you?

In the studio
Inside a music recording studio.

The lights are glistening
The lights inside the studio are shining brightly.

A beautiful night
The evening is visually stunning.

We're happy tonight
We are in a joyful mood.

Alan Parsons in a winter wonderland
The musician Alan Parsons is present in this winter wonderland setting.

Gone away
Something has disappeared or left.

Is the blue bird
The blue bird that was once present is now gone.

Here to stay
The new bird that has arrived is going to remain.

Is the new bird
A new bird has arrived in the scene.

He records a love song
The new bird is recording a song about love.

The production's right on
The music produced by this bird is excellent.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
We can build a snowman in the meadow.

And pretend that he is Alan Parsons
We can pretend that the snowman is Alan Parsons.

He'll say have you listened to my new band
The snowman, pretending to be Alan Parsons, will ask if you have listened to his new band.

We'll say no but we really like that one song
We haven't listened to much of his new band, but we enjoy one of their songs.

It goes time keeps flowing like a river
The song we enjoy has lyrics that express the passage of time.

In the winter we can build a snowman
We can build another snowman in the winter.

And pretend that he is Alan Parsons
Once again, we can pretend that the snowman is Alan Parsons.

I can put you on a list
I can add your name to a list.

For a show in Carson City
The snowman pretending to be Alan Parsons can get us tickets for a music show in Carson City.

Later on
At a later time.

When we were tired
When we became fatigued.

As we drew
While we were drawing or sketching.

By the fire
Next to the warmth of a fire.

Of the eye in the sky
A reference to a song by Alan Parsons Project called 'Eye in the Sky.'

That was with us tonight
The song was with us on this night.

Although my favorite songs
Despite the fact that my favorite songs.

Have notes that are wrong
Some of the notes in my favorite songs are incorrect.

And there's digital snow
There is digital snow present.

And frozen pianos
Even the pianos are so cold, it feels like they are frozen.

And electronic bands
Musical groups that rely heavily on electronic instruments and effects.

With frostbitten hands
The members of the electronic bands have frostbite on their fingers due to the cold.

At the end of the day
When all is said and done.

His albums will play
Alan Parson's album will be played and enjoyed.
