  Verse 1

  The booth is sticky, nobody cares Four coats are piled up on the floor We squeezed in tight to save you a chair Because we couldn't love you more

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's already stood on a coat Somebody's ordering one more round The whole table's raising a toast

  Chorus

  David, this is your night Every candle here you gave it Nobody burns quite as bright This is the year that you saved it

  Verse 2

  You always take the worst seat The one where the springs poke through We'd swap you for something more neat But nothing feels right without you

  Chorus

  David, this is your night Every candle here you gave it Nobody burns quite as bright This is the year that you saved it

  Bridge

  Coats on the floor, glasses held high Somebody's cheering too loud We'll toast till the night runs dry And you're the reason we're proud

  Chorus

  David, this is your night Every candle here you gave it Nobody burns quite as bright This is the year that you saved it

  Outro

  The coats stay piled on the floor We'll stay right here for one more

  Verse 1

  Yellow lamps on a frosty road Puddles glow like they're pure gold Cold air bites but you don't mind You warm this street up when you're home

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the horns start to swell Something good is coming, can you tell We're lifting voices just for you

  Chorus

  David, this town lit up for you Every frozen puddle shined on cue Nobody else could've paved it We're glad the years all gave it

  Verse 2

  Phone box glowing down the lane Steady through the wind and rain You stand the same through every storm Lighting rooms up with your name

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the horns start to swell Something good is coming, can you tell We're lifting voices just for you

  Chorus

  David, this town lit up for you Every frozen puddle shined on cue Nobody else could've paved it We're glad the years all gave it

  Bridge

  Another year, another spark You turn the streetlights bright in the dark However far this road has gone You've always waved it, carried it on

  Chorus

  David, this town lit up for you Every frozen puddle shined on cue Nobody else could've paved it We're glad the years all gave it

  Outro

  Ice will melt but this will stay We're glad you're here, and glad today

  Verse 1

  Bicycles chained by the water locked up tight where the current calls you stood there steady in the cold light the kind that never falls

  Chorus

  David, David, light up the room every year you shine a little brighter spin us round like the mirror ball David, nobody could be lighter

  Verse 2

  You never needed the applause just showed up strong for everyone you love the bridge lights flicker on the river but you're the one we're thinking of

  Pre-chorus

  Feel that bassline start to build hear the room already singing tonight is yours, so let it come

  Chorus

  David, David, light up the room every year you shine a little brighter spin us round like the mirror ball David, nobody could be lighter

  Bridge

  Whatever waters come your way you'll wade on through and never drown so raise your glass and dance it out tonight we crown you golden crown

  Chorus

  David, David, light up the room every year you shine a little brighter spin us round like the mirror ball David, nobody could be lighter

  Outro

  Those bikes still wait beside the water but you're the one who lit the night
