Lyrics
Berkeley Ballroom, Friday night.
Girls on the left, boys the right
Your dancing shoes under your arm
Full of hope, full of reckless charm, full of reckless charm
Your friend he said: 'You don't have a chance'
But, you crossed the floor, asked her to dance
She said 'yes', proved him wrong
And the band struck up a Sinatra song, a Sinatra song
She was the prettiest girl, you'd ever seen
Strawberry blond in Emerald green
Strawberry blond in Emerald green
60 years, she's still your love
Growing old through life can be tough
But together, you remember the past
the Friends, the parties, the memories that last, the memories that last
She was the prettiest girl, you'd ever seen
Strawberry blond in Emerald green
Strawberry blond in Emerald green
