Soon the morning sun will rise,
And dawn will bathe the sky.
There’s time for one more parting song,
Before we say goodbye.

So sing together one and all,
And raise a glass of wine,
Here’s hoping we shall meet again,
Along the road of time.

We’ve shared our stories, yours and mine,
We’ve shared our hopes and fears.
With memories of distant youth,
We’ve both rolled back the years.

The ever-turning, fateful wheel,
Must cause our ways to part.
And bringing untold mysteries,
Another day will start.

For from endings come beginnings,
From the old shall come the new,
With hopes for tomorrow,
We’ll see our parting through.
