An old friend told me
One day there will be a door
Closing in your face
But when the curtain calls
It doesn't mean the end
It's just another day
It's been a tough few years
We've dried too many tears
But we got through it all the same
Most people come and go
For reasons we don't know
So if we never meet again
Lets make a toast
To the good and the bad
The memories we made
The friends that we have
And lost along the way
So raise a glass and say
It's the end of an era
And the start of another
My mother taught me sometimes pain is what you need
To see the other side
And I've watched my father work his hands to the bone
Some nights until he'd cry
And say that's just life
Fast forward 10 more years
If you remember this
Know I still love you all the same
And though we've made mistakes
Done things we cannot change
We'd go and do it all again
Lets make a toast
To the good and the bad
The memories we made
The friends that we have
And lost along the way
So raise a glass and say
It's the end of an era
And the start of another
Lets make a toast
To the good and the bad
The memories we made
The friends that we have
And lost along the way
So raise a glass and say
It's the end of an era
Let's make a toast
For the highs and the lows
The times that brought us down
But showed us how to grow
If today's our last day
We'll raise a glass and say
It's the end of an era
And the start of another
And the start of another
And the start of another
