Stay and make my heart y

You never seem to know the time

When you're with me

You can tell it to the birds

I'll tell the bees

I can't do any more

To get inside your door

And I can't do any more

Please let me inside your door

- You never seem to know the time

- I never seem to know the time

When you're with me

You can tell it to the birds

I'll tell the bees

- You never seem to know the time

- Please don't go

When you're with me

Good night, Ally.

Please don't go

Stay and make my heart y

Stay and make my heart y

Give me a ring.

Stay and make my heart y

I should get my bus.

- We could get a cab.

- I can't afford a cab.

- We could split it.

- That's noble of you.

- I just wanna see you home safe.

- I have to get up early.

If we leave now,

you'll still get five hours.

Don't you mean six?

Five and a half, final offer.

Stay

And make my heart y

Make my heart y

Better get you home safe, then.

- Morningside, please, mate.

- Morningside it is.

- Have you had a nice night, folks?

- We've had a lovely night.

It's about to get a

whole lot better.

Now, five and half hours.

- Have you ever stayed up all night?

- No.

No? Why not try it?

All right, trouble?

Yeah.

Are you OK?

I'm out with Mum today.

- Yeah?

- And your lassie.

It's your big night.

You want to look good.

I'm just not sure

this place is me.

Well, where do you want to go?

I don't know.

Where do you normally go, Yvonne?

- Glasgow.

- That's a bit desperate.

It's a wonder you ever go anywhere.

- I've been to plenty places.

- What, like Spain?

Have you ever fancied seeing

somewhere a bit more exciting?

What, like Glasgow?

No, like China, or Brazil.

I nearly went to India once.

- Really?

- Yep.

Couple of lasses I knew from art school

bought themselves a camper van.

They were gonna drive there,

down through Europe,

then Turkey, into Iran,

Afghanistan, Pakistan.

They wanted me to go with them.

So why didn't you?

It would have been amazing.

Yeah, I thought about it.

I think I would have gone.

But I'd just met your dad.

You gave up the world for him.

That's so romantic.

Bloody tragic if you ask me.

Nobody's asking you.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Let's go to Top Shop.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Thanks for coming.

- All right?

- Where have you been?

I was in town. There was

something I had to pick up.

- What's that?

- What?

Davy.

I'm gonna propose to Liz.

Bloody hell.

I thought I'd do it

at your folks' silver wedding do.

- Kind of appropriate, is it not?

- Yeah.

Why not? Just go for it.

- Bro.

- My man.

Congratulations. Are you going down

on one knee? What you gonna say?

Well, I hadn't thought about it.

I mean, something like...

- 'You know how I feel about you.'

- Aye.

'Do you wanna marry me?'

- You cannae say that.

- Why no, Bronco.

- You gotta keep it simple.

- There's simple.

- But that's just brutal.

- What are you talking about?

You gotta dress it up, man.

- Aye, you lay the ground a bit.

- What?

Look, I'm you, right?

- Davy's your missus.

- What?

Aye.

We've been going together

Too long to be vague

- When there's something to say

- Whoa, whoa. All right.

If it's not now

Then it's never

No way. I won't.

So I'll say it straight out

'Cause I have no doubt

- Hey?

- No doubt

Let's get married

I love you

And I wanna stay with you

Let's get married

Have kids, grow old

and grey with you

- Let's get married

- You make each other happy

Oh, but you make each other blue

- Let's get married

- It's just a piece of paper

But it says 'I love you'

For the good times

For the days when we can do no wrong

For the bad times

For the moments

when we think we can't go on

For the family

For the lives of the children

that we've planned

- Let's get married

- Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Oh, and I'll be the one

Who's by your side

Yeah, and I'll be the one

Still taking pride

When you're old if they ask me

How do I define success?

Well, I'll say you find a woman

and you fall in love

And you ask her and she says yes

You ask her and she says yes

Let's get married

I love you

And I wanna stay with you

Let's get married

Have kids

Grow old and grey with you

Let's get married

Hold hands

When we walk in the park

- Let's get married

- All right, you can have a cat

Just as long as it barks

For the good times

For the days when we can do no wrong

For the bad times

For the moments

when we think we can't go on

For the family

For the lives of the children

that we've planned

- Let's get married

- Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Come on, darling

Please take my hand

Whoa!

All right, drinks are on the house.

When I was a younger man

When I was a silly boy

I didn't need a thing

I was strong as anything

I viewed solitude as a joy

I wanna spend my life with you

Don't wanna live all alone

I can't conceive

of the years left to me

Without you in our home

I wanna thank everybody

for coming here today.

I know some of you

have travelled far

and we really appreciate the effort

you've made to get here.

I think we all know

who we're here to celebrate.

My beautiful wife, Jean.

25 years ago

a priest asked her that question,

and Jean had her answer ready.

After 25 years of marriage,

I can assure you

she always has an answer ready.

He's a bit slow. He'll learn.

But I really do wanna thank her

for taking a chance on me

all those years ago.

I've never been lucky

with girls, I confess

Don't know who to blame

for my lack of success

'Cause even the ones

at the back of a bus

There was always a risk

of a slap in the pus

But...

Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky wi' you

Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky with you

First time I met her

it did cross my mind

Next time I saw her

I hadnae the time

Third time I saw her

I thought that I should

Fourth time I met her

I knew that I would

'Cause, Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky wi' you

'Cause, Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky with you

I love her, I love her, I love her

Love her, I love her, I love her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He wants you forever

He wants you for good

So he's gonna treat you

the way that he should

For your soul and body

My heart's gonnae pound

Even after the day

that I'm laid in the ground

'Cause, Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky wi' you

Jean, Oh, Jean

You let me get lucky with you

He loves her,
