Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld land syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne
The lyrics to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin's Auld Lang Syne are a poignant reflection on the passing of time and the importance of cherishing old memories and friendships. The first verse poses the question of whether old acquaintances, memories and traditions should be forgotten and left behind. The chorus, which repeats twice throughout the song, emphasizes the importance of remembering and celebrating the past. It suggests that even if we may not see each other often or if we have lost touch, we can still raise a glass of kindness to one another in memory of the good old days. The final verse of the song reflects on the departure of a friend and sums up the bittersweet emotions of nostalgia and farewell.

These guys are from my parents generation. I’ll always think of happier times. If only more people would realize life is too short to be mean.
