ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

The Parting Glass

"The Parting Glass" is a song that people often sing when they are saying goodbye to their friends or loved ones. The song talks about how it's time to say goodbye and how they will miss each other. It's kind of like a lullaby that people sing when they are sad that they have to leave someone they care about. It's like saying "see you later" but in a special, sweet way.
