Last night was such a lovely party
Friends and family
Cake and champagne till three
The gang had all gone home
I was feeling tired
But before I retired
I became inspired
By the man
Tinkling at the baby grand

Cheri, there's no one here but me
And though we're past our prime
I'm sure we have the time
To sing a chorus or two

Play a tune! Our favorite melodies
And though we're full of wine
We'll remember every line
And somehow make it through

Music leads the way to romance
The laugh that wrinkles your nose
Let's face the music and dance
I think that's how it goes

Play on, and don't you dare yawn
I won't close my eyes
Until you harmonize
One last chorus with me

Bothered and bewildered like me
We'll build a stairway to the stars
Picture me upon your knee
In the wee small hours

Dawn is here the grand final is near
The birds in the trees
Will sing along with ease
A sweet chorus with us
