Raise the gla** or raise the roof It's all the same I raise the chalice for all those Who are in the grave I wrote this song to remember And to never forget The ones in my heart Who are now laid to rest I remember all the joys we had When you were still here Thinking of you, my friends Wets my eyes with tears But I can't cry forever 'Cos life is ahead You are always in my heart So let me sing One more for the dead You were the king, you were the clown Always there hanging around You might be gone but your spirit lives on And that is why I sing this song I wish you had died in my arms But that wasn't meant to be I did everything I could You meant so much to me
