RAISE YOUR GLASS
lyrics john kachnowski

there's those days
where we see the ones we love
black suits, big car, some flowers
and maybe a dove

thinking bout the good times and the ones we never had
thinking bout the bad times and the ones that made us glad
sometimes we laugh and smile until we cry
sometimes we laugh until someone dies

CHORUS
so raise your glass
the time goes fast
when you look how long it's been
so raise your glass
the time goes fast
until we meet again

the bells of heaven, the bells of bliss
the memories of smiles and first kiss
future fulla hope and lotsa goofy laughs
places fulla smilin' friends in candid photographs

it’s the same game either fun or feeling sad
our yearly get-togethers 
too frequently are bad
seeing our friends and long lost family
we toast to you
and we toast to me

CHORUS
so raise your glass
the time goes fast
when you look how long it's been
so raise your glass
the time goes fast
until we meet again

weddings and funerals
taking up the calendar
sometimes good and sometimes bad
I’m always the traveler

sometimes i feel like a tree fallin' down
do i make a sound when no one is around
when I come home and see you all
it makes me remember this world is so small

though we'll miss those not here tomorrow
our sweetest memories will erase the sorrow
our lives enriched by the beauty of their soul
we carry a piece that always makes us whole

CHORUS
So raise your glass
the time goes fast
when you look how long it's been
so raise your glass
the time goes fast
until we meet again

raise your glass
raise your glass
I said raise your glass
raise your glass0
