May you always come more than you go.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
May there be a generation of children
On the children of your children.
Many times man lives and dies
Between his two eternities,
That of race and that of soul
And ancient Ireland knew it all.
Here's to you, as good
as you are. Here's to me as bad as I am As good as you are
and as bad as I am, I'm as good as you are, as bad as I am.
Here's to you and here's to me. May we
never disagree. But should we start to fight and 'cuss, Here's
to me Here's to it and for it and do it again For those
that get to it and refuse to do it, May never get to it
To do it again.
To live above with the Saints we love,
Ah, that is the purest glory. To live below with the Saints
we know, Ah, that is another story.
May there always be work for your hands
to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun
always shine warm on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain
to follow each rain May the hand of a friend always
be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May you live as long
as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof
over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows
you're dead.
May God grant you many years to live, For
sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
And heaven is overflowing.
Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try
Again.
Fail again. Fail
better.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in
blessings,
slow to make enemies, quick to make friends
But rich or poor, quick
or slow,
may you know nothing but happiness,
from this day forward.
