By Original Work
Gather %s the sweet refrains,
We ring the change by the echo hall,
With maiden's prayer filling every heart,
And goodnight and go.
The echo hall winds whisper low,
As build the chord we roam,
Through kindred spirit we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each close harmony shares a story,
Of fading memory and more,
The meeting place holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through maiden's prayer we find our way,
By echo hall we stand,
Though the sweet refrains may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The blend the voices echo far and wide,
Across the close harmony row they spread,
Where harmony lane once hide,
And maiden's prayer fill the dead.
Let swell the harmony fill the evening air,
Let moonlit romance guide our feet,
For the four chords gather there,
Where barbershop corner meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying sweet friendship away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So swell the harmony and sing with me,
Let fading memory fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley plays every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the evening so still,
We flow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sway fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sing and sway with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 68 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
