May You Always
The Gatlin Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slumber warm when night winds blow
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you
(May your heartaches be forgotten)
(May no tears be spilled)
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you
This special time, this special place,
is brightened by your special face;
the gang will soon sing Auld Lang Syne,
and touch this sentimental heart of mine;
And though we go our sep'rate way,
we'll share the mem'ry of this day,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
have this wish I wish for you tonight
