Lyric

Walking home beneath the streetlight glow

A cold beer in my hand, moving slow

That song we loved plays in my ear

And suddenly, it feels like you are near

Time keeps slipping far behind

But your voice still echoes in my mind

Even if we’re worlds apart

I carry you here in my heart

So here’s a toast to the nights we knew

To quiet laughs and skies so blue

We didn’t need a grand parade

Just you and me, the plans we made

If we meet again, I’ll simply say

“Been a while—glad you came my way”

Found an old photo in a dusty drawer

You’re still smiling like before

Somewhere along this winding road

You gave me strength I didn’t know

The seasons change, the pages turn

But there’s a fire that still burns

A little light you left in me

That still shines quietly

So here’s a toast to the nights we knew

To quiet laughs and skies so blue

We didn’t need a grand parade

Just you and me, the plans we made

If we meet again, I’ll simply say

“Been a while—glad you came my way”

Words I never said are still inside

They knock around where I try to hide

Time moved on, but I’m still stuck

In every “what if,” every bit of luck

Laughed in the dark, cried in the rain

We lived our lives on separate trains

But every time I crack a can

I feel that spark come back again

Let’s raise a glass to what we lost

To every line we never crossed

The joy, the pain, the space between

The dreams we had, the might-have-been

And if I see your face someday

I’ll smile and simply say:

This beer’s gone warm but tastes just right

Reminds me of you on a quiet night

So till the day we meet again—

I'll toast to you beneath the sky, my friend
