Title: A Toast to the Company
Post by: metalcelt on October 03, 2011, 03:50:42 PM
This is the toast that I wrote as the lead in for Health to the Company at the final gate for the cast and performers of the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. I wrote this as a one verse toast originally, but the rest of it came to me over a day or two. If you like it, share it at your Faire, if you wish to record it make sure you credit me like this Matt Hughes, 2011 MetalCelt Music

Thanks!


Let's raise our pints up in the air a toast to the best of days

Let's drink our beer and raise a cheer to set our hearts ablaze

For on this night, with friends so close, there's magic in the air

Although it's time to say goodbye, our hearts are filled with cheer



The sun has set upon the Faire we hear the cannon fire

Though sad we are we part as friends, our love will never tire

For on this night with friends so close, there's magic in the air

Although it's time to say goodbye, our hearts are filled with cheer



So one last time we say goodbye it's time to sing our song

And though the Faire is over, we'll see each other before long

For on this night with friends so close, this magic can be seen

Kind friends and companions, Here's a Health to the Company!
