Lyrics
Dear to my heart
Are bright college years
Here’s to the beer
That I left on the bar
While they were dimming the light
Here’s to the beer
To the friends I hold dear
And the songs of good cheer
That we sang ev’ry night
Here’s to the girls that I used to romance
Bless them, where-ever they are
And here’s to a love
That I keep dreaming of
In my heart it still shines like a star
Oh! here’s to my dreams
Tho’ somehow it seems
They never will get very far
And then here’s to me
Guess I always will be
Like the beer that I left on the bar
And here’s to the grads
The same bonnie lads
Who gather each year from afar
Old pals good and true
Here’s to you, you and you
And the beer that I left on the bar
To the beer that I left on the bar
