Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Raise a light up to the ones who couldn't stay

Raise it to the laughter carried far away

Every photograph a little piece of light

Holding onto shadows through the quiet nights

[chorus]

Here's to the ones we lost along the way

Here's to the ones who taught us how to stay

We'll keep the memories close, we'll let them lead

Even when they're gone, love plants a seed

Here's to the fading light, here's to the bittersweet

Here's to every memory, forever incomplete

[verse]

I hear your voice sometimes in songs on the radio

See your face in strangers walking through the snow

Time moves on but somehow you remain

A quiet comfort woven through the pain

[chorus]

Here's to the ones we lost along the way

Here's to the ones who taught us how to stay

We'll keep the memories close, we'll let them lead

Even when they're gone, love plants a seed

Here's to the fading light, here's to the bittersweet

Here's to every memory, forever incomplete

[bridge]

So light another candle for the ones who shaped our years

Let the toast be gentle, let it hold our tears

We won't say goodbye, we'll say we'll meet again

In every memory we carry till the end

[chorus]

Here's to the ones we lost along the way

Here's to the ones who taught us how to stay

We'll keep the memories close, we'll let them lead

Even when they're gone, love plants a seed

Here's to the fading light, here's to the bittersweet

Here's to every memory, forever incomplete
