May You Live

If there is a cup of life

And we each get our quotas

May you drink yours down, pass the rest around

And not waste one iota

And if there is a winding road

And mountains meant for climbing

May you be strong and brave, and constantly amazed

By every new horizon

And may you live

All the days

Of your life

May you live

All the days

Of your life

And if our days make up a dance

Then have no hesitation

Turn the music loud and send a crowd

Of friends your invitation

And if it's true that love's a song

We sing in joy and sadness

Then may your song be sung at the top of your lungs

And may it bring you gladness

May you live…

And if there is another world

That waits beyond the curtain

Then when your time has come may you hear "well done"

And may you know for certain

That you lived …
