NEW YEAR
When
Time, who steals our years away, shall steal our pleasure too
The memory of the past will stay and half our joys renew
Now
are the days both full and sweet, with the fruit of happiness mine to
eat
Love
is not a matter of counting the years...but making the years count!
Oh,
true love is a durable fire, in the mind ever burning,
Never sick, never dead, never cold, from itself never turning
Here's
to you both¾a
beautiful pair, on the birthday of your love affair
May
the warmth of our affections survive the frost of age
We've
holidays and holy days, and merry days galore;
And
when we've toasted every one, I offer just one more.
So
let us lift our glasses high, and drink a silent toast¾
The
day, deep buried in each heart, that each one loves the most
With
fifty years between you and your well-kept wedding vow
The Golden Age, old friends of mine, is not a fable now
To
your birthday, glass held high,
Glad it's you that's older --not I!
Another candle on your cake? Well,
that's no cause to pout,
Be glad that you have strength enough to blow the damn thing out
Happy
birthday to you and many to be,
With friends that are true as you are to me!
Time
marches on, now tell the truth¾
Where
did you find the fountain of youth?
To
wish you joy on your birthday and all the whole year through,
For all the best that life can hold is none too good for you
A
man is only as old as the woman he feels
Here's
a health to the future; a sigh for the past;
We can love and remember, and hope to the last,
And for all the base lies that the almanacs hold
While there's love in the heart, we can never grow old
Do
not resist growing old-many are denied the privilege
When
there's snow on the roof, there's fire in the furnace!
You
know when you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake!
Youth
would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life
It
is better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all
Age...it
is a matter of feeling, not of years
While
we've youth in our hearts, we can never grow old!
Middle
age: when you start to exchange your emotions for symptoms
One
good thing about middle-age spread is that it brings people closer together
Fair,
Fat and Forty
The
nice things you do mean more than you know and this is the day for telling
you so
Here's
wishing you a birthday that's happy through and through
For you're so nice, that's just the kind that you're entitled to!
Don't
be a goody-goody, don't be a silly prude¾
'Cause
there's no time like your birthday to get in a party mood!
A
baby's like a bluebird that brings a happy song,
And life is so much sweeter when a baby comes along!
Congratulations!
We knew you had it in you
A
mother's pride, a father's joy!
A
new life begun, Like father, like son
Like one, like the other, Like daughter, like mother
A
lovely being scarcely formed or molded, a rose with all its sweetest
leaves yet unfolded
Two's
company, three's the result!
At
Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year
Be
merry all, be merry all, with holly dress the festive hall.
Prepare
the song, the feast, the ball, to welcome Merry Christmas
Here's
to the holly with its bright red berry.
Here's to Christmas, let's make it merry
Here's
wishing you more happiness than all my words can tell,
Not just alone for Christmas but for all the year as well
I
know I've wished you this before, but every year I wish it more,
a
Merry Christmas
Let
us be merry and taste the good cheer, and remember Christmas comes but
once a year
Friendship
like yours is something dear, Something to treasure year after year
Friends
are like wines¾the
longer you keep them, the more valued they become
Friendship
is the wine of life, let's drink of it and to it
May
the friends of our youth be companions of our old age
Old
friends are scarce, new friends are few;
Here's hoping I've found one of each in you
The
world is fun and colorful, and life itself is new.
And I am very grateful for the Friend I found in you
To
friends: as long as we are able to lift our glasses from the table
Just
a little passing thought to give your heart a lift:
The joy of having friends like you is life's most precious gift!
Friendship
is life's finest gift, and from my point of view
No friendship could be nicer than the one I share with you
Please
concentrate on happy things to keep your spirits high
Think
of things like tulips throwing kisses to the sky
Among
the finest gifts of life is friendship, good and true¾
The kind of friendship I have found so nicely in you
Friends,
pour the wine tonight, for the parting is with dawn;
Oh, the clink of cups together, with the daylight coming on!
For
of all labors, none transcend the works that on the brain depend
Nor could we finish great designs without the power of generous wines
God, in His goodness, sent the grapes to cheer both great and small;
Little fools will drink too much, and great fools none at all
He
who clinks his cup with mine,
Adds a glory to the wine
Here's
to mine and here's to thine! Now's the time to clink it!
Here's a flagon of old wine, and here we are to drink it
Wine
improves with age¾I
like it more the older I get!
I
used to know a clever toast, but pshaw, I cannot think it-
So fill your glass to anything and, bless you souls, I'll drink it
Ad
multos annos (to many years)
And
fill them high with generous juice, as generous as your mind,
And pledge me in the generous toast, the whole of human kind!
Tis
hard to tell which is best, music, food, drink or rest
We
drink no wine after its time
Hope
you're feeling better and it won't be long
Before you're on your feet again completely well and strong
Hope
you're feeling better and before much time goes by
Your friends are once more favored by the twinkle in your eye

I
love you for doing the sweet things you do,
That make me so thankful I share life with YOU!
Because
I love you truly, because you love me, too,
My very greatest happiness is sharing life with you
Bouquet,
looks, taste, body...you have them all!
Do
you love me or do you not? You
told me once but I forgot
Here's
to this water, wishing it were wine,
here's to you, my darling, wishing you were mine
Love
doesn't make the world go 'round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile
Happiness
is not having what you want, but wanting what you have
'Twas
not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart;
'Twas not my lips that you kissed but my soul.
If
I speak to thee in Friendship's name, Thou think'st I speak too coldly;
If I mention Love's devoted flame, Thou say'st I speak too boldly
I
love you and you alone but most of all I love us together
O,
would I were where I would be!
There would I be where I am not:
For where I am would I not be, and where I would be I can not
I
love thee, I love thee, 'Tis all that I can say;
It is my vision in the night, my dreaming in the day
You
know exactly what to do; I think of little else but you
Grow
old with me! The best is
yet to be
Here's
to the night I met you.
If
I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have let you.
Now that I've let you, I'm glad that I met you.
And I'll let you again, I bet you!
The
ocean is wide, the sea is level.
Come to my arms you little devil!
Today's
the day, tonight's the night,
We've shot the stork, so you're all right!
I
have known many, liked a few,
Loved
one¾here's
to you!
A
toast to love and laughter and happily ever after
Down
the hatch, to a striking match!
Here's
to the groom with bride so fair,
And here's to the bride with groom so rare!
Here's
to the husband, and here's to the wife,
May they remain lover for their life
May
you grow old on one pillow
To
wish you the happiness, harmony, love,
And a wonderful future you're both dreaming of!
Two
souls with but a single thought
Two
hearts that beat as one
Thank
you for joining us to celebrate our new life together
On
this day I marry my best friend
To
celebrate the first day of the rest of our lives together
He
loves me, He loves me not,
He loves me, we tied the knot!
One
love that is shared by two!
On
this day I will marry my friend,
The one I care for, live for, and love
To
get the full value of joy, you must have someone to share it with
Two
lives, two hearts, joined together in friendship, united forever in
love
Drink
to me, only, with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine:
But might I of Jove's nectar sup
I would not change for thine
A
song for the old, while its time is tolled,
And its parting moments fly!
But a song and a cheer for the glad New Year,
While
we watch the old year die!
Here's
to the bright New Year
And a fond farewell to the old;
Here's to the things that are yet to come
And
to the memories that we hold
