Verse 1

When I

got to New York

City I was

looking for

another side of li

fe

And my

feet were so damned c

alloused I could

probably walk the

edges of a

knife

My mist

akes had often

led me to

believe I'd never

find an open

door

now I'm

busted flat and

broken and I

don't know what the

hell I'm waiting f

or

Verse 2

Some could

see that I was

stumbling and a

couple even

stopped to lend a

hand

Most would

pass me by and

ridicule and

failed to recogni

ze a fellow

man

Now the w

ind is growing bi

tter and the

leaves begin to

die and start to

fall

And I wo

nder if next

summer I will

even be

around this place at a

ll

Chorus

If

I could go back

to the days when

I was young

I'd

travel the whole world

over and then som

e

And I'd

come back to

you with an

everlasting

Lily in my

hand

And I&rs

quo;d show the world

just what it mea

ns to me for me to g

et to be

your man

Verse 3

On the edg

es of a

fading after

noon I heard a

voice within my

head

And the

echoes of

forgotten words from

all the dusty

books I have not

read

And I

wondered if by

chance I should have

listened back to w

hat they said in

school

It occ

urred to me I

might have been the

class clown then but

now I’m just

a fool

Chorus

If

I could go back

to the days when

I was young

I'd

travel the whole world

over and then som

e

And I'd

come back to

you with an

everlasting

Lily in my

hand

And I&rs

quo;d show the world

just what it mea

ns to me for me to g

et to be

your man

And I&rs

quo;d show the world

just what it mea

ns to me for me to g

et to be

your man
