Raise a Glass

I noticed you came here alone
I am alone as well
But there's no reason to be lonely
At least not that I can tell
And while it's true I have a taste
For women from the emerald isle
My imagination
Can arrange things so you're just my style
I'll picture you with freckles
And a flowing scarlet mane
Peeling sacks of potatoes
Distilling sacks of grain
So raise a glass to us
Then raise a second high above
With every glass you're looking more like someone
I could learn to love
Raise a third glass to our country
And a fourth to all the rest
Raise a fifth to hope
And then I hope that you will raise your dress
Na-na-na
Before you turn and run my dear
Please let me state my case
I assure you I'm more than you see
More than just a pretty face
I'm both learned and cultured
And as kind as I am wise
I am also quite skilled with my hands
Should the need arise
Just imagine your prince charming
Perhaps maybe not so proud
Twice as good at prancing
And half as well endowed
So raise a glass to us
Then raise a second high above
With every glass you're looking more like someone
I could learn to love
Raise a third glass to the fallen
A fourth to those who are just hurt
Raise a fifth to hope
And then I hope that you will raise your skirt
Na-na-na
I will stand by your side at least until morning
And as long as it's dark, not leave without warning
And protect you, support you, adore you defend you
And need you and love you or at least will pretend to
It's getting too late, no more time for word mincing
I've got just the thing to do the convincing...
So raise a glass to us
Then raise a second high above
With every glass you're looking more like someone
I could learn to love
Raise a third glass to all captives
A fourth to those who have escaped
Raise a fifth to hope
Here's hoping the carpet matches the drapes
But raise a glass to true love
And one more to chivalry
Raise a glass to whatever the hell will get you
To get you home with me
