Say, Martin, that format sure looked familiar - It's from the Digital Tradition, under the title When First We Met. I must have heard Kath Westra sing it, maybe at her concert at the FSGW Getaway.
I wonder what I searched for that didn't turn it up before.

Now, we're still looking for chords.

Below are the DT lyrics on the left side, with lyrics from the Alan Bell recording on the right.

WHEN FIRST WE MET (Digital Tradition Lyrics) (Alan Bell) 1. When first we met we were total strangers We didn't know if we could be friends, How soon we came to know each other Now I know we will meet again Chorus: So here's to you and our time together I'll share with you now a parting glass And bid adieu with a smile and laughter Our time apart will be short and pass 2. We talked of dreams and a good tomorrow Of yesterday's and their dark dispairs We've had our share of joys and sorrows Now we part as friends who care 3. A long long road now winds before me And fate may take me where it will Through deep valleys and over mountains I'll not forget, I'll remember you still (repeat first verse)

SO HERE'S TO YOU (from Alan Bell Recording) (Alan Bell) When first we met, complete total strangers We didn't know if we could be friends How soon we've come to know each other So now I know we will meet again CHORUS: So here's to you and our time together I'll share with you now a parting glass And bid adieu with a smile and laughter Our time apart will be short and pass We've talked of dreams and the good tomorrows Of yesterdays with their dark despair We've had our share of love and sorrow So now we part as friends who care A long, long road now lies before me And fate will lead me where it will All through the valleys and over mountains I'll not forget, and remember you still

learned from Kathy Westra Hickerson who got it from David Jones.
(who perhaps got it from Alan Bell?)
