Here's to Life
Jacintha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still believe in chasing dreams
And placing bets
For I have learned that
All you give is all you get
So give it all you′ve got
I had my share, I drank my fill
And even though I'm satisfied
To see what's down another road
Beyond a hill
And do it all again
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here′s to life
To dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can go from warm hellos
To sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories
You′ve memorized
To keep your winters warm
For there's no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings
Or takes away
As long as I′m still in the game
I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here′s to life
To dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here′s to life
Here's to love
Here's to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that′s good get better
Here′s to life
Here's to love
Here′s to you
