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 that, 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 the 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?
The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long the 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 the 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 what about our dreams and all the memories we share?
