This One’s For You

Here’s to the days we spent
And the nights we lent
To driving on the road
Here’s to your Irish eyes
Those long goodbyes
And the stories that you told
Here’s to your cigarettes
And those misplaced bets
You smoked inside the bar
Here’s to the shipment days
Through the summer haze
We could never get too far 

Raise your glass, my friends
I’ve got something to say
We’ve only got right now
So let’s live another day
I know it’s hard to walk
But with you I’ll make it through
We’ll make it through
Here’s to the tyrant
Here’s to my friends
Here’s to the mothers
The too young in the end
Here’s to the jokers
And the seekers of truth
You say they’re all love songs
Well, this one’s for you 

Here’s to the doves that cried
And the times you tried
To read what I had wrote
Here’s to the boxes
And the dragons
And the candy mountain note
Here’s to the place you made
And the days we stayed
Until the lights came on
Here’s to the bells that rang
And the songs you sang
They’re playing on and on

Raise your glass, my friends
I’ve got something to say
We’ve only got right now
So let’s live another day
I know it’s hard today
But with you I’ll make it through
We’ll make it through

Here’s to the tyrant
Here’s to my friends
Here’s to the mothers
The too young in the end
Here’s to the jokers
And the seekers of truth
You say they’re all love songs
Well, this one’s for you
