Lyrics
I've been lately thinking 'bout my life's time
All the things I've done and how it's been
And I can't help believing in my own mind
I sure am gonna hate to see it end
I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
Spent a time or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends
Spent a night or two in my own home
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have the chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tide
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the time around
Talk of poems, prayers and promises, things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow?
What about our dreams and all the memories we share?
Days, they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long
Time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me, but still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
Although my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away
Dance across the mountains on my own
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have the chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tide
While all my friends and my old lady sit and watch the sun go down
Talk of poems, prayers and promises, things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow?
What about our dreams and all the memories we share?
