Love Is Like A Big Brass Band Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

For our first time together 

I wanted everything to be just right 

I prayed for good weather 

For we were going to a concert in the park that night 

I wanted violins and sweet romantic melodies 

But when the band began to play 

It didn't turn out quite that way 

For there were trumpets and trombones 

Making sad sounds and glad tones 

And notes that I will never understand 

And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos 

Now you know and I know love is like a big brass band

We wasted no time now 

We planned a wedding for the first of June 

Hear the wedding bells chime now 

And see the folks all watching for the bride and groom 

Waiting for violins and sweet romantic melodies 

But when we started down the aisle 

You should have seen the preacher smile 

For there were trumpets and trombones

Making sad sounds and glad tones 

And notes that I will never understand 

And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos 

Now I know and you know love is like a big brass band
