A 20 year Tribute
"Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you."
