Timeline This song was officially released in 2020

Here’s To The Nights” is a Ringo Starr track released on streaming platforms in December 2020 (two days before the release of “McCartney III“). It features Paul McCartney on background vocals. The track was included on 2021 Ringo Starr’s EP “Zoom In“.

Diane Warren wrote it: “Here’s to the nights we won’t remember, with the friends we won’t forget.” So it has a beautiful sentiment. It’s about us all coming together, so it seems appropriate for today. Everybody I know, we’ve all had quite a few nights we don’t remember. And we’ve all had them with friends we won’t forget.

All these people joined in and helped me out. We got Paul McCartney, he’s on board. Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow, Jenny Lewis, Chris Stapleton, Benmont Tench. Dave Grohl, and Ben Harper were the first ones up. Lenny Kravitz came on at the last minute. We got Finneas, Yola, Black Pumas. Corinne Bailey Rae sings her heart out. Everybody has a little shout-out.

Lyrics

Here's to falling on your face

Getting back up and winning the race

Here's to taking it to extremes

Never losing faith in our crazy dreams


Here's to having no fear

Here's to right now, right here


Here's to the nights we won't remember

With the friends we won't forget

May me think of them forever

As the days that were the best

May we mak? some noise togeth?r

Make a beautiful mess

Say we did it all


Here's to reaching for the stars

Hanging out in castles or hanging in the yard

Here's to leaving no foolish deed undone

Moving to the beat of our own crazy drum


Here's to living our lives

Here's to right here, right now


Here's to the nights we won't remember

With the friends we won't forget

May me think of them forever

As the days that were the best

May we make some noise together

Make a beautiful mess

Say we did it all


Here's to making memories, making mistakes

Taking all the blues and making them break

Here's to us being crazy fools

Here's to me, here's to you


Here's to the nights we won't remember

With the friends we won't forget

May me think of them forever

As the days that were the best

May we make some noise together

Make a beautiful mess

Say we did it all


Here's to the nights we won't remember

With the friends we won't forget

May me think of them forever

As the days that were the best

May we make some noise together

Make a beautiful mess

Say we did it all

We did it all

We did it all

We did it all
