lyrics

It sure doesn't seem like 40 years
It's so damn good to have you here
I hope that life's been good to you
Yeah it wasn't easy, I know that's true

We all went our separate ways
Running from those memories
I never talked about it much
We all said we'd keep in touch

I guess it takes a long, long time
to finally put it all behind
We were kids when we went in
Not really sure where to begin

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about fear
Let's talk about the people we hold dear
Let's talk about anything
But winning isn't everything

Maybe we were wrong or
Maybe we were right
Maybe we were itching for a fight
Maybe we're the lonely ones tonight
But I know we're the lucky ones

Lucky that we're still here so that I can call you my friend
Lucky we can say the things that really matter in the end
Lucky we can laugh out loud at our own expense
When I saw their names all carved into that wall
I realized we're the lucky ones
I know we're the lucky ones

What can I tell about how I've done?
I own this house, we raised two sons
Sharon passed a few years back
She would have liked you, I'm sure of that

My memory is all worn down
But somehow the nightmares stick around
I still remember that song we sang
Just to break the boredom in DaNang

We'd be cowards to pretend
We were not frightened of the end
So here's a toast to those we lost
Don't know what we got for what it cost

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about fear
Let's talk about the people we hold dear
Maybe we're the lonely ones tonight
but I think we're the lucky ones
I know we're the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones
I know we are the lucky ones
