lyrics

I have loved and lost and loved and lost and loved and lost again
Each in their turn I remembered the same
Friends and companions lent me their cheer
And we toasted with wine, whiskey and beer

A bucket, a barrel, a cup or a flask
There's many a vessel that's good for the task
Raise up your glass or whatever you choose
To the ones that you win and the ones that you lose

From five miles high or seven hells deep
Sharing a smile or starting to weep
Say that it's yours, say that it's true
And I'll raise a glass to all that you do

Whoever, whatever, you're going through
Many's the friend who's been there too
Sing out your joy, cry out your blues
To the ballads, the bastards, the bad luck and booze

A bucket, a barrel, a cup or a flask
There's many a vessel that's good for the task
Raise up your glass or whatever you choose
To the ones that you win and the ones that you lose

To the songs that we’ve forgotten, and the girls that moved on
To friends and family and those now gone
To words said in haste, or not said at all
To that very first kiss, or nervous first call

The harder they hit, the harder you try
It's okay to smile and it's okay to cry
If you never get up and throw yourself in
You may never lose but you’ll never win

A bucket, a barrel, a cup or a flask
There's many a vessel that's good for the task
Raise up your glass or whatever you choose
To the ones that you win and the ones that you lose
