| Raise the glass 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 |
