Subject: Lyr Add: NEW YEAR'S TOAST
I posted some of this for some previous year. I added a tune and a bit more to the lyric.

Here's the tune (MIDI). [Link updated] (I know, I know...I got a bit carried away the third time through, but I had fun.)

NEW YEAR'S TOAST

Here's to the bridges we've burned
Here's to the corners we've turned
Here's to the pain we've survived
Here's to just staying alive

Here's to the wrongs we forgave
Here's to the works we have made
Here's to the battles we fought
And the victories won, dearly bought

Here's to the success of our daughters and sons
Here's to the health of less fortunate ones
Here's to the friends we've been lucky to find
The shoulders we lean on, the arms warm and kind

May we love, may we hope, may we dream, may we dare
May we look in our own souls and find our strength there
May we all live with laughter and love without fear
May we all have a Happy New Year
