Answering my own request here. Duh. Tune is forthcoming.

PARTING SONG
Dave Webber

Soon the morning sun will rise,
And dawn will bathe the sky.
There's time for just one parting song,
Before we say goodbye.

Chorus:
So sing together one and all,
And raise a glass of wine,
Here's hoping we will meet again,
Along the road of time.


We've shared our stories, yours and mine,
We've shared our hopes and fears.
With memories of distant youth,
We've both rolled back the years.

The ever-turning, fateful wheel,
Must cause our ways to part.
And bringing untold mysteries,
Another day will start.

For from endings come beginnings,
From the old shall come the new,
With hopes for tomorrow,
We'll see our parting through.

Transcribed from the singing of Johnny Collins on "Now & Then." From the notes to the CD, Dave wrote this "...as a memorial to a dear friend, now departed."
