Francis Duggan - The Band Was Playing

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