I'm going away

But I promise to return some day

But if I don't I promise to remember you

And let us share a drink

so that we can remember

The way things were when friends were here together 



Cause our lives are made of memories

And they're all we can take with us

When we leave this place we're in

And as you travel through this world

May your path be long and stony

And may it lead to the most amazing view 



I'm going away

But I promise to return some day

But if I don't I promise to remember you

And as you nurse your glass of whiskey

And look out onto the skyline

Think of me and remember the way we were
