This poem (song) is called Here’s to You, Version 2. It's called Version 2 because there is a different version called Version 1 that has different lyrics and a different meaning. Neither of Version 1 or 2 are supposed to be updated, revised versions of each other, they are both individual in their own right.

Here it is!
***

I felt so lost and alone,
And when the war of worlds began, I lost all hope.
But then you came to me, shining your light,
And I felt saved, because of you.

In my darkest hour, you were there for me.
And now that you are gone, I feel shipwrecked in the sea.
With every hour that passes, your absence kills me all the way through.
With every moon, I love you.

I remember us dancing in the wind;
And you’d hold me close, and you’d tell me you would never go away;
And you’d kiss me on the lips, there was no shame,
Thinking how the world would judge us for being man to man.

I remember your embrace, and your sweet words,
As we sat together in the barroom light,
Drinking glass for glass,
Singing love songs at the piano bench till midnight.

But now my lips are cracked,
I’m sitting alone at the piano bench, drinking all my sorrows away,
But not even the strongest drink could make me forget my pain.
So I screamed out at the barroom folks till they all ran home to daddy,
And I smiled with a savage look, my rage wanting to destroy.

But then I thought of you,
And I couldn’t let me go insane, for that would spite our love,
So I tumbled to the ground,
The empty glass broke under me, and I was bleeding out,
And I hoped to die and see you one last time.

But fate, it seems, kept me alive,
And I didn’t know what else to do but cry.
I got myself a new glass of the whiskey,
I sat back down to hit the keys, but couldn’t play a note.
So with you a memory, one I can’t forget,
I raised my glass into the air,
With the tears streaming down my face,
And you were all that I could think of evermore.

Here’s to you, my lover from the distant land.
We walked through the valley of the shadow of death with hand in hand.
Here’s to you, here’s to you.
I’ll raise my glass and enjoy your view.
While I sit, while I lay,
I wish you weren’t so far away.

Here’s to you, my lover from the east wind.
You brought with you a frigid storm, but you made me so warm.
Here’s to you, here’s to you.
I’ll raise my glass and enjoy your view.
While the world is torn apart,
I’ll take my comfort in your beating heart.
