A Toast

 

Pop open a bottle and have a seat
We’ll drink a toast to time –
To forgotten mem’ries and long lost loves
that now and then cross our minds

To songs that lift our hearts, to songs
that make us shed a tear,
Songs that take us back to yesterday,
simpler life and younger years,

To heartbreak and heartache and triumph and pain
and making fools of ourselves once & again
But mostly to old friends and the stories they could tell,
who’ve stood by our side through it all.
