about

This is a song celebrating thirty-five years of marriage and thirty-five years as a choir director, educator, and mentor. It is dedicated to my wife...ALGS...as she prepares to retire from teaching...BUT NOT FROM MUSIC, LOVE, AND LIFE.

The video of this song is available on the Quinton Patterson Briggs YouTube Channel.

lyrics

A TOAST TO YOU & I

Here we are...you and I
The two of us together
Even after all this time
Dreaming we can fly
One for all and all for one
Through any kind of weather
Hand in hand...arm in arm
Reaching for the sky

You and I have played our roles
With certainty for certain
We have heard the music of
The mermaid when she sings
Standing here upon the stage
Behind the final curtain
I will watch you take your bow
Applauding from the wings

When we began this journey, Love
So many years ago
Love could conquer every doubt and fear
When we look behind to find
The things we’ve come to know
We know that love alone has brought us here

Here’s to us...to you and I
Standing tall together
Confident and unafraid
Believing we can fly
One for all and all for one
Through any kind of weather
Hand in hand and heart to heart
Reaching for the sky

When we began this journey, Love
So many years ago
Love could conquer every doubt and fear
When we look behind to find
The things we’ve come to know
We know that love alone has brought us here

When we began this journey, Love
So many years ago
Love could conquer every doubt and fear
When we look behind to find
The things we’ve come to know
We know that love alone has brought us here

Here we are...you and I
The two of us together
Even after all this time
Dreaming we can fly
One for all and all for one
Through any kind of weather
Hand in hand...arm in arm
Reaching for the sky

Standing here upon the stage
Behind the final curtain
Content to watch you take your bow
Applauding from the wings

We’re reaching for the stars, my Love,
A dream forever flying
Let’s raise our glasses
Bold and high
A toast to you and I
