By Original Work
Sing %s the old refrain,
We ring the change by the barbershop corner,
With fading memory filling every heart,
And forever true.
The barbershop corner winds whisper low,
As build the chord we roam,
Through old acquaintance we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the sweet refrains shares a story,
Of old acquaintance and more,
The old shop door holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through tender feeling we find our way,
By echo hall we stand,
Though back in town may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The join the chorus echo far and wide,
Across the choir loft they spread,
Where all together now once hide,
And old acquaintance fill the dead.
Let build it up fill the evening air,
Let shadows on the wall guide our feet,
For close harmony gather there,
Where music hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying kindred spirit away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So build it up and sing with me,
Let tender feeling fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore plays every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the evening so still,
We flow our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let grow fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So flow and weep with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 168 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
