Cheers to You

Came home to the pictures of us still hanging in my closet
Reminding me what it once was, how things went, how we lost it
Still that same smile, still those same eyes, still that same beautiful soul
No matter what that'll always be true, cheers to the man I once knew

Missing your touch, how it felt to have your hand in my hand
I want for you somebody's love, but don't want them taking all of yours and
I found your letters, don't know if I'll send them
There's comfort in writing again and again and
No matter what that'll always be true, cheers to the man I once knew

And all of this time
I'm waiting for you and your wondering what's on my mind
Now I've crossed a line
What was I to do, we were through, and you knew you didn't

Want a wife anyway
So how could I take away
A promise you already took
Left behind such a love, boy, you'd never know
Was an open book

But frozen in pictures, frozen in gifts
Memories of a time that didn't need fixing
No matter what that'll always be true
I'll always love the man I once new

I once knew
I once knew
That once was you
