Tie Through Window

[Verse 1]
They met down at the hall
On a dance night in town
Helen was inside
Smiling all around

Brian tried the door
But they said not tonight
No tie, no way in
So he stepped back outside

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the boys got clever
A little plan was born
One man wore the tie
And the rest stayed on the lawn

[Chorus]
Tie through the window
Tie through the window
One by one, they got in
Tie through the window

That’s how he found her
That’s how love began
Tie through the window
And a lifetime in his hand

[Verse 2]
One went in the toilet
Hung that tie out plain
Passed it to the next man
Then he did the same

Round and round it went
Like a secret little key
Till Brian made it in
And stole that dance from fate

[Pre-Chorus]
There she was there
My nanny in his arms
Spinning through the music
Safe inside his charm

[Chorus]
Tie through the window
Tie through the window
One by one, they got in
Tie through the window

That’s how he found her
That’s how love began
Tie through the window
And a lifetime in his hand

[Bridge]
Two daughters, three grandchildren
Sixty years of love
Still the same old magic
Still a blessing from above

If I get my day
I’ll ask for what they knew
A good long dance
And a heart that sees me through

[Final Chorus]
Tie through the window
Tie through the window
One by one, they got in
Tie through the window

That’s how he found her
That’s how love began
Tie through the window
And a lifetime in his hand

Tie through the window
Tie through the window
May my marriage hold like that
Tie through the window
