I'm going away
But I promise to return some day
But if I don't I promise to remember you
And let us share a drink
So that we can remember
The way things were when friends were here together

Cause our lives are made of memories
And they're all we can take with us
When we leave this place we're in
And as you travel through this world
May your path be long and stony
And may it lead to the most amazing view

I'm going away
But I promise to return some day
But if I don't I promise to remember you
And as you nurse your glass of whiskey
And look out onto the skyline
Think of me and remember the way we were
