Someday, We ll Talk Again

Verse 1

No pride, no lies, no vanity,
I thank my fate for all it gave to me.
And every toast that's spoken to the night,
Or whispered softly, with no sound or sign,
Will name the ones who stood with me through glory,
Who shared the road, the laughter and the story,
And all the simple blessings life can bring —
For that I'll smile,
For that I'll be grateful for everything.

Verse 2

And when the days of sorrow cast their shadow,
And clouds of grey come drifting through my eyes,
I hope the ones who shared the feast beside me,
Who shared my wine through all those years, remain.
I want their memory to hold forever
The happy, slightly drunken look I wore.
And when their eyes still shine with that old fire,
I hope one tear will tell them something more.

Chorus

They'll understand the ending of the game,
And leave behind the sorrow and the blame.
They'll open up the notebook where we tore
The words apart, and wrote no more…
And on those scattered pieces, torn and broken,
We'll find the love that once was left unspoken.

Verse 3

I only ask that they restore the silence,
The strength to meet, the courage to begin,
To let the empty noise of life grow distant,
And leave behind the foolishness within.
And I will be content with what we lived through,
With every laugh, each sorrow, every door…
Because perhaps, someday —
Who knows, perhaps…

We'll sit and talk again,
and carry on the conversation.
