Lyrics
When the Band Plays Auld Lang Syne
Words and Music by
Stan Anderson
The time has come around once again
The old year is out and the new year is in
But there is one thing missing tonight
I’m too far away to be holding you tight
And oh, the emptiness in my heart
I hope this is the last time we’re ever apart
I long to be holding your heart next to mine
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne.
(Chorus)
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne
For now, if only in my mind
I’ll glide ‘cross the floor with the girl I love more
Than anyone I’ve ever dreamed of before
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne
I’ll dream of that moment in time
We’ll dance with your heart beating so close to mine
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne.
I’ve travelled a lot, and there’s ladies I’ve met
But you’re the one I can never forget
They say precious moments make sweet memories
But that only happens when you’re here with me
Tonight I’ll enjoy the music so fine
And pretend I’m having a wonderful time
While making believe you’re in these arms of mine
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne.
(Chorus)
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne
For now, if only in my mind
I’ll glide ‘cross the floor with the girl I love more
Than anyone I’ve ever dreamed of before
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne
I’ll dream of that moment in time
We’ll dance with your heart beating so close to mine
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne.
You’re the only one I want in these arms of mine
When the band plays Auld Lang Syne.
