Carrow Road is a football stadium in Norwich, England, and is the home of Norwich City Football Club. The stadium is located toward the easterly end of the city, not far from Norwich railway station and the River Wensum.
Carrow Road, named for the road on which it is located, was purpose-built by Norwich City in 1935; construction took just 82 days. Previously, the club played at Newmarket Road and the appropriately-named The Nest (Norwich City's nickname is "The Canaries").
The stadium has been extensively worked on several times during its history, notably following a devastating fire that destroyed the old City (now "Geoffrey Watling City") Stand in 1984. Having once accommodated standing supporters, since 1992 the ground has been all-seater. The ground's modern capacity is 27,033, the most recent works being the addition of approximately 1,000 new seats in the summer of 2010. The stadium's all-seater record attendance is 26,816 which occurred in the Premier League match versus Newcastle United on 10 December 2011, but in the days of standing terraces, it saw crowds as large as 43,984 when they played Leicester City in an FA Cup match in 1963. The Carrow Road site also includes a club superstore, catering facilities and a Holiday Inn hotel.
If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that w have known here
I will sing a hymn to love
We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world thdt's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love
I remember each embrace
The smile that enlights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing
lf one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
lf one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love
O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love
Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
