Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk When First We Met 
When First We Met (Alan Bell)
 1. When first we met we were total strangers We didn't know if we could be friends, How soon we came to know each other Now I know we will meet again
 Chorus: So here's to you and our time together I'll share with you now a parting glass And bid adieu with a smile and laughter Our time apart will be short and pass
 We talked of dreams and a good tomorrow Of yesterday's and their dark dispairs We've had our share of joys and sorrows Now we part as friends who care
 A long long road now winds before me And fate may take me where it will Through deep valleys and over mountains I'll not forget, I'll remember you still 

(repeat first verse) learned from Kathy Westra Hickerson who got it from David Jones. (who perhaps got it from Alan Bell?) DC
