| Beside the braes of dawn
|
| One clear new morning
|
| Down where the lilies stood in bloom
|
| I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
|
| A wind just passing through
|
| So we dared to stay
|
| In these golden ways
|
| We never never knew what to do
|
| And the world kept coming screaming
|
| All it’s news at me
|
| Well, now I’ve got news for you
|
| So let me take you down to the dancing floor
|
| You can walk out on the crowd
|
| Let us waltz away what’s left of the living years
|
| In celebration of the loved
|
| No nothing’s all that it seems
|
| In the strands and the waves
|
| Our steps renewed our lips confess
|
| We were stranded at the alter of unknown delights
|
| Down on the road to happiness
|
| And as the sunlight fills
|
| The highland hills
|
| It’s all become so clear somehow
|
| That the days we spend
|
| Were not made to end
|
| We stand forever in thier glow
|
| So let me take you down to the dancing floor
|
| You can walk out on the crowd
|
| Let us waltz away what’s left of the living years
|
| In celebration of the loved
|
| It’s all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
|
| We can turn our lives around
|
| Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
|
| With the fool that I’d become
|
| Now the hours are few
|
| And the days can be so cruel (so cruel)
|
| Yes, the night are getting long (the nights are getting long)
|
| And that joy that you would always bring
|
| It’ll always keep me strong
|
| So let me take you down to the dancing floor
|
| You can walk out on the crowd
|
| Let us waltz away what’s left of the living years
|
| In celebration of the loved
|
| It’s all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor
|
| We can turn our lives around
|
| Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
|
| With the fool that I’d become |
