COME FILL UP YOUR GLASSES
(Peggy Seeger)
Come fill up your glasses with whiskey and beer
And drink a full glass to a happy new year
To our sisters and brothers,and may they live long,
So lift up your glasses and join in this song
So we'll fill up your glasses and drink once again,
To peace on earth and good will among men
Long life to the miners the whole world around,
Who spend their days in a hole underground,
Whose road is a tunnel, whose day is the night,
Out of danger and darkness they bring light
Our thanks too the fishermen and safe may they toil,
And also to the farmer who turns up the soil;
To the ploughmen and shepherds and all men of worth,
Whose joy is to harvest the fruits of the earth.
Here's to the drivers and firemen and the rest of the team,
Who keep the stock rolling by diesel and steam,
To the cleaners and shunters who work night and day,
And the track laying gangs on the permanent way.
A toast to the casual laboring man,
Who lives where his work is, who works where he can,
To the builders and spidermen and bold engineers,
May your wages keep rising, lads, over the years.
To the writers and artists, then, let's drink a health,
To people whose hopes, and whose dreams are our wealth,
Whose tools are but canvas or paper and pen,
Whose harvest is the future and the progress of men,
Let the men drink a health to their sweethearts and wives,
And the ladies, being willing, will greet them likewise,
May your pleasures be many, your troubles bu few,
May you treasure the day you made one out of two.
Let's drink to our children and let us prepare,
A world where they'll live free from sorrow and care,
A world where goodwill among men is the law,
A world without fallout, a world without war.

===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY==="Its undeniable...that we should be together...
Its unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...
One...you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... boy its plain to see...that you're the only one for me...and
Four...repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe my work is done....then I start Back at One.(yeah)
So Incredible...the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know that its all about babe...
And undesirable...for us to be apart...
Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart
Cause...
One...you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... boy its plain to see..that you're the only one for me
Four...repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done....then I start Back at One......
Say farewell to the dark night...I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child..whose life has just begun...
You came and breathed new life,
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line...just in the Nick of Time
One...you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl its plain to see..that you're the only one for me..and...
Four...repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done....then I start Back at One."
