Verse 1
Three paper cups out on the bench Waiting for you, come rain or wrench You make the ordinary gleam You turn a bench into a scene
Pre-chorus
We saved the seat closest to you We brought the cups, we brought it true Something is building, right on cue
Chorus
Josephine, light of this whole green scene You make it feel like we're sixteen Between the cups and the evergreen We're raising cheers to Josephine
Verse 2
The greaseproof paper holds our feast You're the reason, not the least Every year that you have seen You've made the ground around you clean
Bridge
However far the years have been However loud the world has leaned You're still the calm we lean between You're still the one we count on, keen
Chorus
Josephine, light of this whole green scene You make it feel like we're sixteen Between the cups and the evergreen We're raising cheers to Josephine
Outro
Three cups still sit here on the green Saving your place, our Josephine
Bright Along the Reeds

Verse 1
Dusk was falling grey and slow Nothing shining, nothing gold Just some foil stuck in the reeds Then you walked by and stole the show
Chorus
Josephine, light up this room Bring the shine, banish the gloom Everybody here adores you Josephine, we're glad you're you
Verse 2
Muddy path along the canal Nothing there worth one more look Then your laugh came round the bend And every plan we had, we took
Pre-chorus
We could pass a hundred things Never turn our heads at all But you, you make us stop and sing
Chorus
Josephine, light up this room Bring the shine, banish the gloom Everybody here adores you Josephine, we're glad you're you
Bridge
Not the brightest thing in sight Just the one we can't forget Raise a glass and toast tonight You're worth more than gold, and yet
Chorus
Josephine, light up this room Bring the shine, banish the gloom Everybody here adores you Josephine, we're glad you're you
Outro
Scraps of foil catch the light We'll take you over gold, tonight
Silver on the Roofline
Motown soul · Motown · Soul · BrassA stomping Motown birthday number that turns a stray balloon caught on a chimney into proof that somebody is watched over and adored. Perfect for a room full of people who want to sing loud and mean it.
Read the lyricsHide the lyrics
Verse 1
Up on the roof there's a silver balloon Caught on a chimney, refusing to leave Tangled up tight like it wanted to stay Just like the way that you make us believe
Pre-chorus
Something that shines will hang around Something that's loved won't hit the ground Tonight the whole house calls your name
Chorus
Josephine, light up the room We've been waiting all day for this scene You make the ordinary bloom Josephine, you're our evergreen
Verse 2
Every year rolls in like the tide You're the one thing that stays right on beat We could search this whole city and back Never find anyone half as sweet
Bridge
So blow out the candles, let the smoke climb Let it drift up and tangle in twine Wherever it lands, it's holding your shine Caught on a rooftop, yours for all time
Chorus
Josephine, light up the room We've been waiting all day for this scene You make the ordinary bloom Josephine, you're our evergreen
Outro
Somewhere a balloon still shines on a chimney And you're still the brightest thing we've seen
