Guiding Star

lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007
music by Harry Tierney (died 1965) © expires 2036

We stood beneath a summer sky,
When the mood was blue, love.
We saw a star that shone on high,
Named the star for you.
Promised that when those rays I should see,
If I send a loving thought to you,
You’ll send one to me.
REFRAIN:
Shine on, my silver star,
I call you from afar,
Sweetheart, I am your own,
Only yours alone.
Your arms shall hold me fast,
While life and love may last,
Though far apart we are,
You’re my shining silver star!


Here’s to the Old Days (Good Bye Old Pals)

lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007
music by Harry Tierney (died 1965) © expires 2036

My good pals, jolly old pals,
What a time it is since friendship first began.
I’m leaving, don’t be grieving
For I soon shall be a happy married man.
We’re thinking of the times we shall be missing you,
When at a flowing bowl we gaze.
While I’m home by the fireside, dreaming of my daring, dashing bach’lor days.
REFRAIN:
Here’s to the old days,
Here’s to the old ways,
Here’s to the old friends,
Loyal and clever,
Here’s to the great nights,
Here’s to the late nights,
Memories grand will last forever.
Quaffing a flacon of bachelor size,
Under the stars until sunrise.
Here’s a farewell to liquor and gals,
Good luck and Goodbye old Pals.
Here’s to the Pals.
