[Verse 1]
Let's toast the names of our old flames
As well as love possessed
And raise a cup to giving up
The sins that we've confessed
Then cry some tears for all the years
For things that might have been
The laughs, the wine, that shining time
That may never come again

[Chorus]
And so it goes
The river flows, the years roll down the line
And so it goes
To my departed friends
We'll meet again in some other place and time

[Verse 2]
Cheers to grace and gentle faith
To the losses and the wins
To loved ones gone, friends moving on
To beginnings and to ends
Here's to revelry and levity
To charity's embrace
With tears for all we made feel small
For the souls we laid to waste

[Chorus]
And so it goes
The river flows, the years roll down the line
And so it goes
My dear, departed friends
We'll meet again in some other place and time
