The Band Was Playing

The band was playing 'For Auld Lang Syne' and tears were in his eyes And he felt far so far away midst all the joyous noise He visualized the by gone days the seconds counted down And they were singing Auld Lang Syne back home in Glasgow Town. For Auld Lang Syne, For Auld Lang Syne by Scotland's best loved poet One of the very famous songs that Robert Burns wrote In every Land around the World in every different tongue The new year's anthem 'Auld Lang Syne' in every Country sung The band was playing For Auld Lang Syne a beer can in his hand And he was back in Glasgow Town back home in old Scotland The music took him down the years back to the long ago On new year's eve out on the town with kenny, Jock and Joe. The woman standing next to him gave him a warm embrace And there was laughter in her eyes and joy upon her face A happy new year to you sir may all your dreams come true May you be healthy, wealthy, wise and may God be with you. At 12 a.m. the banners waved and the new year fanfare blew And old year dead and buried now and welcome in the new And greetings rung around the town happy new year to you And people danced around the street and Jock was dancing too.
