TO YOU AND ME

September 19, 2017

Here's a New Year's Eve drinking song about life, death, and the passage of time.

"To You and Me"

VERSE 1:

As we gather to remember

All the things that came to pass

Bidding farewell to December

With a song and with a glass

Let us sing of all the goals we crossed

Let us toast to victory

Let us note how much the friends we lost

Truly meant to you and me

VERSE 2:

They say time is always flying—

Gather rosebuds while you may

For, tomorrow, will be dying

All that blooms for you today

Raise your voice and join us in the song

Raise your hand for all to see

Celebrate before the moment's gone

Raise your glass to you and me

BRIDGE:

As the moments become hours

And the hours turn to days

Right before your eyes, the years go by

And memories fade away

VERSE 3:

Years from now when people gather

And we're gone without a trace

Here are questions that will matter

For the ones who take our place

Will they laud the gods of alcohol?

Will they sing our melody?

Will they pause to think of us ... at all?

Will they drink to you and me?

* The first stanza of Verse 2 is based on the first stanza of “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”, a poem by Robert Herrick (1591-1674).
