The Irish Rovers - The Best of Friends Must Part lyrics

It's grand to see old friends again as we come rambling through and talk about the times we've had and raise a gla** or two For when we are together off on memories we recall and long will I remember your kindness to us all Farewell to you, I bid adieu, I can no longer stay For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways It's time to pa** the parting gla** and toast to company Good luck and joy be with you all, wherever you may be Long have we been comrades and true friends since first we've met and never has an angry word pa**ed between us yet. Many's the night we've laughed and sung until the break of day and fondly will I think on you when I am far away. Farewell to you, I bid adieu, I can no longer stay For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways It's time to pa** the parting gla** and toast to company Good luck and joy be with you all, wherever you may be It's sad I am for leaving but the best of friends must part I'm going to a foreign shore although it grieves my heart We'll put our trust in providence that soon we'll meet again I wish you health and happiness, good fortune, until then Farewell to you, I bid adieu, I can no longer stay For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways It's time to pa** the parting gla** and toast to company Good luck and joy be with you all, wherever you may be And when I'm on some foreign shore far across the sea I'll keep you close beside me, you'll be in my memory And when the stormy winds do blow and hard times win the day Our laughter and our friendship sure will clear the clouds away. Farewell to you, I bid adieu, I can no longer stay For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways It's time to pa** the parting gla** and toast to company Good luck and joy be with you all, wherever you may be Farewell to you, I bid adieu, I can no longer stay For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways It's time to pa** the parting gla** and toast to company Good luck and joy be with you all, wherever you may be
