Going Out In Style / Dave Edwards
V1
She takes her coffee black down at the Riverside Café,
It pays to keep it cool when the band begins to play,
Perhaps she'll sing a little number if they call her to the stage,
You know she really looks amazing for her age.
V2
A celebrated beauty she met with elegance and fame,
Breakfasted on caviar Drank only fine Champagne,
No party or occasion without her presence was complete,
Society was high, life tasted sweet.
Chorus
Now she stares into the mirror and as the tears run down her face,
She can't hold back the years or disguise her fall from grace,
But she can still recall the music and the words still seem to rhyme,
Tell the band to play the old songs one more time.
V3
So she takes her coffee black and quietly waits to play her part,
To sing the song of yesterday she's gonna sing with all her heart,
Every note a precious memory , every breath a faded smile,
As twilight falls the curtain calls, yes she's going out in style....
So now she stares into the mirror and as the tears run down her face,
She can't hold back the years or disguise her fall from grace,
But she can still recall the music and the words still seem to rhyme,
Tell the band to play the old songs one more time.
Every note a precious memory, every breath a faded smile,
As twilight falls the curtain calls, yes she's going out in style....
So tell the band to play the old songs one more time,
Won't you go round one more time?
Oh tell the band to play the old songs one more time.
