lyrics

You were the wind at my back, the sun on my shoulder
The rock I could lean upon when I did tire
Now the going is rougher, weather is colder
With no one to turn to when I walk the wire

As memories go you've been quite the blessing
With hundreds of smiles now for each bitter tear
So even though we've gone diff'rent directions
I think of you fondly through all of my years

I sit and tell stories of yesterday's glories
Raise up my glass to those left behind me
My heart beat like thunder when I
Thought of the wonder of tomorrow
But look where tomorrow has found me

There has been darkness on this road I'm travelling down
Whiskey stained tear drops from sorrows I failed to drown
But no matter how dark the hour,
No matter how far away,
Your memories flood, quicken my blood,
And bring on the light of the day

So when I bow my head, in deep genuflection,
It's not to the saints or to God up above,
My heart fills instead with sweet recollection
Of those who filled my life with laughter and love

I sit and tell stories of yesterday's glories
Raise up my glass to those left behind me
My heart beat like thunder as I
Think of the wonder of tommorrow, sweet tomorrow;

We'll sit and tell stories of yesterday's glories,
Raise up our glasses to good friends around us,
With laughter like thunder we'll
Drink to the wonder of tommorrow,
'Cause who knows where tommorrow will find us
