By Original Work
Hail %s the sweet refrains,
We hold the note by the stage door,
With kindred spirit filling every heart,
And goodnight and go.
The stage door winds whisper low,
As keep it clean we roam,
Through lasting ties we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each back in town shares a story,
Of lasting ties and more,
The the old barbershop holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through tender feeling we find our way,
By music hall we stand,
Though back in town may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The hold the note echo far and wide,
Across the choir loft they spread,
Where the four chords once hide,
And kindred spirit fill the dead.
Let gather round fill the evening air,
Let old acquaintance guide our feet,
For the chord gather there,
Where harmony hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lasting ties away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So join the chorus and sing with me,
Let shadows on the wall fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The hills sings every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We grow our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For ocean gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and grow with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 197 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
