lyrics

He played the old songs from before we were born
Tales full of laughter and ballads we mourn
Songs near forgotten and songs we knew well
Songs with a history and songs with a tale
With a smile on his face and a tear in his eye
He sang the old songs till the end of the night

He brought out the songs that most left behind
Beautifully aged and weathered by time
We’re nought without roots, just floating adrift
But his memory was keen and his bowing was swift
With a smile on his face and a tear in his eye
He sang the old songs till the end of the night

Separate we came, together we left
Cheering the heroes, the weak and oppressed
Music unites us in passion and song
He wove us together and made us belong
With a smile on our faces and tears in our eyes
We sang the old songs till the end of the night
