So Here’s To You

Alan A. Bell

When first we met, complete awkward strangers
We did not know if we could be friends
How soon we’ve come for to know each other
And now I know we will meet again

So here’s to you and our time together
I’ll share with you a parting glass
And I’ll bid adieu with some smiles and laughter
Our time apart will be short and pass

We’ve talked of dreams and of new tomorrows
Of yesterday and its dark despair
We’ve had our share of love and sorrow
And now we part as friends who care

A long, long road, it lies before me
And fate will take me where it will
But through the valleys and over mountains
I’ll not forget, but remember you still
