Here’s to the Years Lyrics

[Verse]
If I die before I wake
Sing this song 'til the heavens shake
And if I live, the day was won
Dance with me 'til the morning sun
One for you, and one for me
And one for the ones who are six feet deep

[Pre-Chorus]
So we say so long...

[Chorus]
Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone
Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone

[Interlude]
Friends! Gather 'round! For it is time to dance!
(1, 2, 3, huah!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Huah!
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
So we say so long...

[Chorus]
Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us...
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone
Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
