Lyrics:
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said "there is no reason"
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

This song has been playing periodically in my mind for over fifty years now. My dance partner and I closed out the High School prom with a slow dance to this very tune. For us, it was a shining moment, we left the dance floor and went on to marriage and life. Never had to look back because we always had that moment, that tune, in our head. We talk about it from time to time. You brought all that back. A testament to your talent.

It usually was played by the DJs at the end of the Night! Don't know how u found it, but for a Teen to Love this Music these days prove how Good the Music was back in the 70's!! You did all of us Older Music Lovers, a great Service with your amazing Version Emily! Thank you so Much!!

@TheGecko213 2 года назад

Even I am surprised at the choice of songs sung by Emily . She is all of 14 yrs old and she already knows most of the good vintage songs . I think it is the legacy of her Mom who was a singer in a her own band , so it’s all genetics 😊

Norman, I am guessing I am not as old as you as Procol Harum was before my time, but I love this song. Gary Brooker played a brilliant version of it back in 2006 in Denmark with a full orchestra.

Her voice is exceptional in its tone and range. She hits each note with perfection. The piano self-accompaniment was gorgeous, and lent a melancholy edge to the lyrics. Best wishes to Emily for a successful career and a happy life.
