  Verse 1

  The tickets spin down on the floor We're cheering louder than before That painted horse goes round the ring But you're the one who makes us sing

  Pre-chorus

  Empty cups are stacked up high Somebody's lit the candles high So lift your voice before we cry

  Chorus

  Gordon, tonight the room is yours We're banging cups and stamping floors No one else could hold this crowd Gordon, sing it clear and loud

  Verse 2

  We danced till both our feet gave in The fiddle wouldn't let us stop You laughed until the tears ran thin Then spun us like a carousel top

  Pre-chorus

  Empty cups are stacked up high Somebody's lit the candles high So lift your voice before we cry

  Chorus

  Gordon, tonight the room is yours We're banging cups and stamping floors No one else could hold this crowd Gordon, sing it clear and loud

  Bridge

  Here's to the way you steady us When everything else spins too fast You're the one worth toasting first And the one we're glad will last

  Chorus

  Gordon, tonight the room is yours We're banging cups and stamping floors No one else could hold this crowd Gordon, sing it clear and loud

  Outro

  The horse still turns beneath the light We'll raise our cups to you tonight

  Verse 1

  Streamers tangled up above Hanging off a folding chair Somebody stood on that chair Just to make you feel loved there

  Pre-chorus

  We could have kept it simple But simple's not the plan tonight We're building up to something

  Chorus

  Gordon, light the candles now Nobody here would keep you waiting Gordon, let the room shout loud This is your year for celebrating

  Verse 2

  Someone climbed to hang that streamer Balanced high on that same chair Only for a face like yours Would anybody climb up there

  Pre-chorus

  We could have kept it simple But simple's not the plan tonight We're building up to something

  Chorus

  Gordon, light the candles now Nobody here would keep you waiting Gordon, let the room shout loud This is your year for celebrating

  Bridge

  However far a year can carry We circle back to raise this cheer Every single one that's passed Only proves you're worth it, Gordon

  Chorus

  Gordon, light the candles now Nobody here would keep you waiting Gordon, let the room shout loud This is your year for celebrating

  Outro

  Let the streamers stay up tangled We'll cheer for you again next year
