Heroes

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 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 one Ghosts of the morning watch from above Ghosts of the evening who lived and loved And now there's a boy on a dance floor 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 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 still there's a boy on a dance floor somewhere And a girl and she's tying a bow in her hair
