I'm going away but I promise to return some day
But if I don't, I promise to remember you
And let us share a drink so that we can remember
The way things were when friends were here together
'Cause our lives are made of memories
And they're all we can take with us
When we leave this place we're in
And as you travel through this world
May your path be long and stony
And may it lead to the most amazing view
'Cause I'm going away but I promise to return some day
But if I don't, I promise to remember you
And let us share a drink so that we can remember
The way things were when friends were here together
I'm going away but I promise to return some day
But if I don't, I promise to remember you
And as you nurse your glass of whiskey
And look out onto the skyline
Think of me and remember the way we were
I'm going away but I promise to return some day
But if I don't, I promise to remember you
And let us share a drink so that we can remember
The way things were when friends were here together
[The Parting Glass:]
Oh all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ever I've done alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me my parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that ever I had, I'm sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that ever I had, I wish you one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and I softly call, good night and joy be with you all
Oh if I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit a while
Well there is a fair maid in this town who solely holds my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, by own she holds my heart enthralled
So fill to me my parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
