ROUND THE FIRE TONIGHT

Guitar Intro

Intro

The last light's fading down the road,

we left our troubles where the traffic goes.

One little spark against the blue,

and suddenly the world feels new.

Verse 1

Friday came with dust upon my boots,

another week of following the rules.

You called at six, said "Bring your worn-out shoes,"

I took the back road with nothing left to lose.

We found a clearing by the riverside,

where the water runs and the old trees hide.

You struck a match, the first sparks rose,

and every tired face began to glow.

Pre-Chorus

Let the hours go, let the rules unwind,

leave the busy world a mile behind.

If tomorrow wants to find us here,

tell it we're not listening, my dear!

Chorus

Round the fire, round the fire,

let the sparks go flying high.

Shake the dust off all our worries,

let the restless world roll by.

Round the fire, round the fire,

sing it till the morning light.

We don't have to own tomorrow,

we just have to live tonight!

Verse 2

Lucy kicked her shoes into the grass,

Joe told a story of a love that didn't last.

We laughed so hard we nearly woke the moon,

then someone tried to dance and missed the tune.

Old Pete had years written in his face,

but he moved like he was twenty in that place.

No heroes here, no grand parade,

just happy fools and the choices that we made.

Chorus

Round the fire, round the fire,

let the sparks go flying high.

Shake the dust off all our worries,

let the restless world roll by.

Round the fire, round the fire,

sing it till the morning light.

We don't have to own tomorrow,

we just have to live tonight!

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

They say the best years disappear too fast,

while we keep chasing things that never last.

But here the smallest moment feels like gold,

a hand to hold, a story to be told.

And when the embers fade into the gray,

we'll take a piece of this night along the way.

The world will spin, the bills will still arrive,

but nothing beats the feeling of being alive!

Bridge

One day we'll be a little older,

with silver running through our hair.

But when the night turns cold around us,

we'll remember dancing there.

Chorus

Round the fire, round the fire,

let the sparks go flying high.

Shake the dust off all our worries,

let the restless world roll by.

Round the fire, round the fire,

sing it till the morning light.

We don't have to own tomorrow,

we just have to live tonight!

Outro

Let the highway take us home,

let the morning find its way.

When the world gets cold again,

we know where the fire stays.

Round the fire tonight!

We're alive, we're alive tonight!
