I still hear the snares in the square   Colors ablaze in the evening   The air was still down the stormy hills   It's good to be young and daring      She was the pride of the summer that year   She was my sweetheart, my lady   We walked to Black Rock and stopped by the Loch   It's good to be young and daring   It's good to be young      Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum      Across the bay I can still hear the strains   The two step loud and blaring   We walked hand and hand to the beat of the band   It's good to be young and daring   It's good to be young      Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum      I still hear the snares in the square   Colors ablaze in the evening   She was the pride of the summer that year   It's good to be young and daring   It's good to be young and daring   It's good to be young      Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat      Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong      Beat the drum, beat the drum   Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong   Beat the drum
