| 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 |
