The band was playing 'For Auld Lang Syne' and tears were in his eyes <br />And he felt far so far away midst all the joyous noise <br />He visualized the by gone days the seconds counted down <br />And they were singing Auld Lang Syne back home in Glasgow Town. <br /> <br />For Auld Lang Syne, For Auld Lang Syne by Scotland's best <br />loved poet <br />One of the very famous songs that Robert Burns wrote <br />In every Land around the World in every different tongue <br />The new year's anthem 'Auld Lang Syne' in every Country sung <br /> <br />The band was playing For Auld Lang Syne a beer can in his hand <br />And he was back in Glasgow Town back home in old Scotland <br />The music took him down the years back to the long ago <br />On new year's eve out on the town with kenny, Jock and Joe. <br /> <br />The woman standing next to him gave him a warm embrace <br />And there was laughter in her eyes and joy upon her face <br />A happy new year to you sir may all your dreams come true <br />May you be healthy, wealthy, wise and may God be with you. <br /> <br />At 12 a.m. the banners waved and the new year fanfare blew <br />And old year dead and buried now and welcome in the new <br />And greetings rung around the town happy new year to you <br />And people danced around the street and Jock was dancing too.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-band-was-playing/
