  Verse 1

  Towels rolled tight by the splash Waiting there for you Every year you light the room up Give the night a blue glow

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, feel that beat Nobody moves like you Tonight the whole floor's on its feet Dancing in your blue glow

  Verse 2

  You never walk in quiet You bring the whole room too Every face turns when you enter Something lifts, something true

  Pre-chorus

  Count the candles, catch your breath Feel the love that's coming through Here it comes, here it goes

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, feel that beat Nobody moves like you Tonight the whole floor's on its feet Dancing in your blue glow

  Bridge

  Another year, still shining Still the one we're dancing to Say the word and we'll keep going All night long for you

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, feel that beat Nobody moves like you Tonight the whole floor's on its feet Dancing in your blue glow

  Roll the towels, dim the light We'll carry your glow home tonight

  Verse 1

  Two milk bottles by the step Waiting on the wire mat Something steady, something kept That's the kind of friend you're at

  Pre-chorus

  Every year the same small sign Something good is on its way Feel that clock start ticking fine

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, here's your day Light the candles, watch you glow Hugo, put the world away Tonight is yours, so Hugo, go

  Verse 2

  You leave things out for morning Trusting what the night will bring Never needing any warning You just make the ordinary sing

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, here's your day Light the candles, watch you glow Hugo, put the world away Tonight is yours, so Hugo, go

  Bridge

  Doorstep steady, porch light on We were waiting just like you Glad the year has come along Glad it brought us back to you

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, here's your day Light the candles, watch you glow Hugo, put the world away Tonight is yours, so Hugo, go

  Outro

  Bottles empty by the mat Another year of trusting that

  Verse 1

  Flour dusted by the machine Someone laughed at the mess we've seen You just grinned and shrugged it off Turned the chaos into a laugh

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, light up the room Every year you chase off the gloom We raise a cheer and we shout your name Hugo, nothing feels the same

  Verse 2

  Cloud of white across the tile You made trouble look like style Everybody stopped to stare Then they cheered because you're there

  Pre-chorus

  Candles catching, hearts are full Voices rising, warm and full Something's coming, feel the pull

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, light up the room Every year you chase off the gloom We raise a cheer and we shout your name Hugo, nothing feels the same

  Bridge

  However the mess gets made We're glad you're the one who stayed No cleaning up who you are You shine like the brightest star

  Chorus

  Hugo, Hugo, light up the room Every year you chase off the gloom We raise a cheer and we shout your name Hugo, nothing feels the same

  Outro

  Flour still dusts the old machine Best mess this kitchen's ever seen
