I hear that…

I hear that…

Dita
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
Don’t think we’re not serious, when’s it ever not?
As much as I’d like the past not to exist
And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
Of all the money that e’er I had
I’ve spent it in good company
And all the harm that e’er I’ve done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I’ve done for want of wit
To memory now I can’t recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
It’s such a cold cold world
Joy runs deeper than despair.
Always be a little kinder than necessary.ABOUT
