(It's been a beautiful night.)
Raise your glass to the dead that's departed, today's gone by
Raise your glass. Let's end where we started, good night, good night
Fly away, let's go home, one last toast, rainy night, dream in bed
Kiss goodbye, clasp my hand, cheer to all and I salute the dead
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
Thirty five. I was old when I started to sing this song
T'irty six steals round the corner I won't be long
Singing here with you by all the conundrums have disappeared
Hold my hand
Warm my heart
Rainy nights
Life's too short;
Fades too soon
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
I'm alive and sometimes I know it; here's to those times
I'm in love with the sea salt, the spit, with the palms, the grime
Eat the world with a spoon,
Drink it down,
Sing to it,
Write a song
What's all the mysteries, night glow, and bittersweet love in blue
Say goonight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
What the hell! Let's get drunk on each other and dance all night
Oh what the hell! Let's roll out those battles, another fight
Sordid life, lusty heart, highest crimes lure us on. I submit
Kiss me again and again and again and again, this fire is lit
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
Sing a song, a three pennied vagabond warm with rye
Sing a song of six pents and blackbirds baked in a pie
Oh once I was happy, no now I am happy with you tonight
Since Ala's passing, sing melodies, twilight comes too soon
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
Raise your glass to the dead that's departed, today's gone by
Raise your glass, let's end where we started goodnight goodnight
Oh fly away, let's go home, one last toast, rainy night, dream in bed
Kiss me again and again and again and again
This fire is lit
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
Say goodnight to the friends we have made here and goodnight moon
