Fairport Convention - Best Wishes lyrics

Long may the sun shine on your bones and on your skin Long may good fortune shine upon your kith and kin Long may the laughter lines grow into your face Long may you mastermind a perfect state of grace May you always love and season well and keep good company May you always act and reason well, wherever you may be And long may the music keep you gentle and in thrall And long may its beauty shine to pleasure one and all Long may your passion take a stand against all wrongs And long may the fashion last that welcomes all your songs Long may your journey take you down a friendly road And long may you learn the ways that lighten up your load May you always keep good melody and never lose your key May you always keep your memory and keep your spirit free And long may the music keep you underneath its spell And long may you keep it live and always play it well
