i've been lately thinking about 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 know i'm gonna hate to see it end. i've seen a lot of sunshine
slept out in the rain
spent a night or two all on my own. i've known my lady's pleasures
had myself some friends
spent a time or two in my own home. i have to say it now
it's been good life all in all
it's really fine to have a chance to hang around. and lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
while all my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around. and talk of poems and prayers and promises and 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
and what about our dreams and all the memories we share?
days they pass so quickly now
the nights are seldom long. time around me whispers when it's cold. the changes somehow frightens me
still i have to smile. it turns me on to think of growing old. for though 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 and dance across the mountains on the moon. i have to say it now
it's been good life all in all
it's really fine to have a chance to hang around. and lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
while all my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around. and talk of poems and prayers and promises and 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
and what about our dreams and all the memories we share?
