Lyrics

Still I remember when I was told
Stories of evenings and days of old
Nothing to hide and nothing to lose
Down to the hall in their dancing shoes

Where a boy, with nothing but hope to declare
Saw a girl, who was tying a bow in her hair

Here’s to all the olden heroes
Everyone who’s gone before
Here’s to all your hopes and dreams
And everything worth fighting for

Hitting the earth on the day we’re born
We come from dust and to dust return
All of our moments while we are here
Last for a lifetime then disappear

And she smiled, as she heard the accordion play
And they laughed, as they waltzed the evening away

Here’s to all the olden heroes
Everyone who’s gone before
Here’s to all your hopes and dreams
And everything worth fighting for

And the boy, unconscious of everyone there
Held the girl, who danced with the bow in her hair

Ghosts of our ancestors watching on
Out in the fields where the world was won
Ghosts of the morning watch from above
Ghosts of the evening who lived and loved

And now, there’s a boy on a dancefloor somewhere
And a girl - still tying a bow in her hair

Here’s to all the olden heroes
Everyone who’s gone before
Here’s to all your hopes and dreams
And everything worth fighting for x2

And still, there’s a boy on a dancefloor somewhere
And a girl - and she’s tying the bow in her hair
