|
the candle flickers towards its last |
|
our time together's ended |
|
the evening spent so swiftly passed |
|
no richer way to spend it |
|
before we head our seperate ways I'd like in truthfulness to say |
|
you've made this day a special day |
|
with songs and kindness splendid |
|
here's to song |
|
here's to time |
|
here's to both with friends of mine |
|
here's to friends who raise their voices high |
|
Kings have riches widely lain |
|
lords have land but then again |
|
we have friends and song no wealth can buy |
|
we each a different road must go |
|
to mountain sea or city |
|
the hour has come for sweet adues |
|
and other more's the pity |
|
but first united hand and heart |
|
and sing a c.horus there we part |
|
for every end leads to a start |
|
we need not break so sadly |
|
here's to song |
|
here's to time |
|
here's to both with friends of mine |
|
here's to friends who raise their voices high |
|
Kings have riches widely lain |
|
lords have land but then again |
|
we have friends and song no wealth can buy |
|
and the tilt of hats in future cross |
|
may blessings kindly greet you |
|
until that time I must alas |
|
Only in memory meet you |
|
Often I will sit and stare |
|
And think upon this moment rare |
|
The company beyond compare |
|
For now farewell and thank you |
|
Here's to song |
|
here's to time |
|
Here's to both with friends of mine |
|
Here's to friends who raise their voices high |
|
Kings have riches widely lain |
|
Lords have land but then again |
|
We have friends and song no wealth can buy |
|
We have friends and song no wealth can buy |
