a song about good old friends that you miss when you are apart.
I'm a former member of several bands across the country, have been writing songs for 30 years and making home-grown productions for about 25 years. I have been dabbling with a more diverse songwriting style and I am always looking to add something interesting to this Soundclick page. I am a lover of music (but not all music) and will not be boxed into one certain style. I hope you like this as much as I do because my soul is bleeding all over this page....rock on......
Story behind the song
Wrote this while I was in the Air Force for my family and friends that I missed. They say it used to make them cry.
Lyrics
A Toast To Old Friends
By Kevin S. Dunn
Hello, our good old friends, it’s good to see you all again, it’s been a while
It’s cold outside, but we feel warm, we always do, when we see you all smile
Let’s sit down and have a beer, let’s catch up on
everything that’s happened all this time
Can you recall all the crazy things that we used to do
they were so much fun, we were out of our minds
It feels almost like a thousand years ago, but it feels almost like only yesterday
Friends like you are so hard to come by, I only wish that we could stay
So, how are the little ones?, not so little anymore, my how they’ve grown
They’re so good and they’re so bright that I know someday
they’re going to do so well out on their own
It seems God smiles on our homes, I’m not a religious man
But I understand what love is
But anyway, what I really want to say won’t come out the way that I want it to
So I wrote this song
It feels almost like we never left, but it feels almost like we were never here
How do we feel now, I think you know, does anybody want another beer?
Let’s drink a toast to old friends that stick by through thick and thin
Let’s drink a toast to our ship, you know someday it’s gonna come in
Here’s to the fellas, remember them? Wonder what they’re all doing now
Seems to me they’re out there somewhere
Wishin’ they could make it all come back somehow
So what’s the plan, should we buy some land? get a business going party all night long
And live the good life
Or let’s hit it big, make a million or two, buy a big old house and a fancy car
And spoil our wives
Sure sounds good, when do we start? Oh I see, we’ve started already
And we’ve got plenty
Because we can dream and as long as we keep our dreams alive
our lives will never be empty
Can you picture just what I’m sayin’? after all our dreamin’ and prayin’
It turns out our party never ends as long as we can all remain friends
Let’s drink a toast to old friends that stick by through thick and thin
Let’s drink a toast to our ship, you know someday it’s gonna come in
Here’s to the fellas, remember them? Wonder what they’re all doing now
Seems to me they’re out there somewhere
Wishin’ they could make it all come back somehow
