Here's to Life

I love you dad! I'm listening to some of my favorite tunes.

One of my all time favorite songs that only Joe Williams could sing with passion is Here's to Life.

My sister and I saw Joe Williams and Nancy Wilson in concert many years ago (The Mellon Jazz Festival). I was fortunate to be able to get tickets. My sister and I started crying when Joe Williams closed his set with Here's to Life. He came back out for an encore and sang the song again.

My parents love Joe Williams' CD's when I play them.

Here's to Life (Joe Williams)

No complaints and no regrets 
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets 
but I have learned that all you give is all you get 
so give it all you got 

I had my share I drank my fill 
and even though I'm satisfied I'm hungry still 
to see whats down the road behind the hill 
and do it all again 

So here's to life 
and every joy it brings 
so here's to life 
to dreamers and their dreams 

Funny how the time just flies
a love can go from warm hellos to sad goodbyes 
and leave you with the memories you memorized 
to keep your winters warm 

There is no yes in yesterday 
and who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away 
as long as I'm still in the game I want to play 
for laughs, for life, for love 

So here's to life 
and every joy it brings 
here's to life 
to dreamers and their dreams 

may all your strorms be weathered 
and all that's good get better 
here's to life, here's to love, here's to you 

may all your storms be weathered 
and all that's good get better 
here's to life, here's to love, here's to you

Here's to Life dad!
