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
