Since first there was a tourney, since first there was a king
By evening light there have been those who talk and laugh and sing
'Though still the years are passing and still the game is played
The memories fair are still made there and never will they fadeChorus:
For at day's end will come my friends
And gather round to stay
Before we sleep, with feelings deep
To talk the night away
Come rain or shine, for me and mine
Whatever comes our way
Throughout the night by firelight
We'll celebrate the dayWhile titles have their meaning and duties bring their care
By firelight all things seem bright; there are no worries there
The flames throw off their shadows, the smoke and sparks dance high
Around the ring the voices sing until the embers dieChorus:
For at day's end will come my friends
And gather round to stay
Before we sleep, with feelings deep
To talk the night away
Come rain or shine, for me and mine
Whatever comes our way
Throughout the night by fire light
We'll celebrate the dayBridge:
At times it seems so futile, at times it seems so grim
Sometimes you want to throw it all away
But then the sun is setting and darkness brings its cloak
And friendship comes and laughter has its wayThrough storm and wind and tempest, through triumph and defeat
The sunlit hours cannot compare with those that twilight greets
For greatness sees the sunlight but warmth is found at night
And in our hearts all great things start and friendship makes it rightChorus:
For at day's end will come my friends
And gather round to stay
Before we sleep, with feelings deep
To talk the night away
Come rain or shine for me and mine
Whatever comes our way
Through all the night by fire light
We'll celebrate the day
A song for all those gathered about the fire of an eve, because things always look better at night. -- Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova
