Shimmer shimmer the Dark nights out!
Updated: Nov 27, 2020
Watch and learn the Shimmer song which Ziad Jabroo of the Baghdaddies created especially for Whitley Bay. See the video at https://vimeo.com/483054160.
The Baghdaddies perform the specially commissioned song for Shimmer 2020 in Whitley Bay. It's a lovely song with a great lyric.
Here are the lyrics:
Intro
When its dark and the wind is blowing
And winter seems like a lonely time
Let our lights be a way of knowing.
That together we can shine
Chorus
Shimmer shimmer the Dark nights out!
Shimmer shimmer let me hear you shout
We are all together
Shimmer shimmer the Dark nights out!
Shimmer shimmer let me hear you shout
The lights are to show that we care
Brass break
From you to me!
Across the North Sea!
Let it shine!
Be Kind!
Verse 1
Hope burning bright as we Light up the lights,
Banish the winter gloom
Love to see the glow as all the lights flow
Like sunshine fill your room
Dancing round familiar streets
Sharing light with the people we meet
Gleaming flickering twinkling sparkling
sweep you off your feet
Chorus
Shimmer shimmer the Dark nights out!
Shimmer shimmer let me hear you shout
We are all together
Shimmer shimmer the Dark nights out!
Shimmer shimmer let me hear you shout
The lights are to show that we care
Brass break
From you to me!
Across the North Sea!
Let it shine!
Be Kind!
