The
Drinking Song
David Brown (For Geoff)
Let us fill a glass for good times past
and those still yet to be
let us raise a toast to all of those
who couldn’t make this company
Let us drink a beer for those not here
those who couldn’t make the gig
let us think of friends as we up-ends
of glasses as we swig
Let us reminisce with every whiskey
until we’ve had our fill
of all the fun of being young
and keep it with us still
Let us play a song and sing along
keep sadness from the door
sing every bar with all our hearts
‘til we can sing no more |
