  Verse 1

  Midnight catches everyone off guard Sparks are spinning round the yard You come blazing into every room Chasing back the winter gloom

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the fizz and hear it climb Every year gets brighter every time We are counting down to your name

  Chorus

  Beryl, light the whole place up Fill every waiting cup Nobody burns quite like you Beryl, we adore you too

  Verse 2

  Spinning bright behind the glass Nothing ever burns too fast You turn ordinary nights to gold Warmer every year you're told

  Chorus

  Beryl, light the whole place up Fill every waiting cup Nobody burns quite like you Beryl, we adore you too

  Bridge

  Let the sparks fall where they may We were made to love this way Nothing dims you, nothing could You were always understood

  Chorus

  Beryl, light the whole place up Fill every waiting cup Nobody burns quite like you Beryl, we adore you too

  Outro

  Still the sparks are spinning round That's the way that you were found

  Verse 1

  Paper hats stacked on the bench Waiting for you to arrive Nobody minds the wind or the damp You make this whole day come alive

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody grab the drums and the horns Somebody light every candle in sight We've been counting down since this morning

  Chorus

  Beryl, the room lights up for you Every glass we raise is full Nothing about tonight feels ordinary We're all a little wild for Beryl

  Verse 2

  You laugh and the whole park leans in Even the pigeons stop to stare Somebody's crown just blew off in the wind And you catch it without a care

  Bridge

  However far you've come this year However hard the road got real You showed up bright, you showed up here That's the only gift that we feel

  Chorus

  Beryl, the room lights up for you Every glass we raise is full Nothing about tonight feels ordinary We're all a little wild for Beryl

  Outro

  Someday those hats will blow clean away But you're the one we'll always want back
