We came here together this evening
To meet with old friends that are true
'Cause over the years we've grown closer
That's what's happened between me and you

Somehow things in life keep on changing
And nothing it seems stays the same
But the times that we share, that old feeling's still there
And the song in my heart I declare

May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Till the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

Well, now the time's come for the parting
Once more we must go our own way
Tonight we have made some more memories
And nothing can take them away

Leaving this place, just remember
As we travel life's journey each day
The road that takes us away will take us back here some day
So, until we're together this way
May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Till the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay
