tumbling ball

maybe i'll remember

the old house standing on the avenue

till the day i die

maybe i'll remember

the kids coming home from the playground

sand in their shoes and their mother's eyes

surely i'll recall the day in my life

when i looked in the eyes of a woman

and i knew right then and there that's my wife

and the world keeps turning

like a big blue tumbling ball

and the times that you spend

with the ones you love just seem so small

am i just a drop in the ocean after all

maybe i will always

think of myself as a young man

holding both hands to the rod and the reel

maybe i will always

remember the day dad passed away

and i still don't know how to feel

there's nothing i love more than my family

when we all get to heaven

i hope for a minute

that they still remember me. and the world keeps turning

like a big blue tumbling ball

and the times that you spend

with the ones you love just seem so small

and the world keeps spinning

like a big blue tumbling ball

and it's hard to believe

that you ever really played a part at all

am i just a drop in the ocean after all

and the world keeps spinning

like a big blue tumbling ball

and the world keeps spinning

like a big blue tumbling ball

and it's hard to believe

that you ever really played a part at all

am i just a drop in the ocean after all
