lyrics

Sweet boy with the kindest eyes
Dancing dolphin, wild abandon
How we hoped you'd touch our hands
At the barriers where we were standin'

We’d wait to see you on the BBC and MTV
Five brothers taught us what it meant to be a family
Until you said it was the end for now
We'd have to bid you all goodbye somehow

It’s like all our hearts were crying
It’s like all our hearts were crying
Then you smiled
Then you smiled

Green man with the golden shades
Kept our hearts in your back pocket
How we cheered as you lifted off
Soaring solo on your rainbow rocket

You charmed on CBB and rocked at the Academy
The message on our stereo got us believing in the boogie
With every song we couldn't wait to hear
You showed us what it meant to persevere

It’s like all our dreams were flying
It’s like all our dreams were flying
When you smiled
When you smiled

A flood of joyful memories
A never-ending odyssey
Whether five or four or three
No matter what we’ll always be beside you

It's time now to celebrate
50 years of happy hours
Thank you for the songs you sing
The joy you bring to us and ours

We thank you for your art and for your creativity
The hope you give to tiny heroes through your generosity
Without you we would be alone
The everlasting voice that brings us home

It’s like all the stars are shining
It's like all the stars are shining
When you smile
When you smile
