Here's to the mind that we thought was dead Singing like he's got a gun to his head Hanging on sweet notes and the thread Dear old man of mine Here's to a father ofttimes blessed Here's to the child that he loved best Does anybody care what happened to the rest? Dear old man of mine Here's to the dreams that went awry And to the tears I could not cry For it was long ago that I said goodbye To that dear old man of mine I don't know why I'm crying Oh, maybe it's because we can't go back There is no use denying This is the way it never was Many a heart has proved untrue Here's to me And here's to you Let's say farewell Let's say adieu To that dear old man of mine To that dear old man of mine
