Intro

Verse

I've been lately thinking about

my life's tim

All the things I've done and how it's

been

And

I can't help believing in

my own min

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 fri

ends

And

spent a time or two in my own h

ome

Chorus

And I

have to say it

now it's been a

good life all in

all

It's really

fine to have a

chance to hang a

round

And

lie there by the

fire and

watch the evening

tire

While all my

friends and my old

lady sit and

pass the pipe a

round

And talk of

poems and prayers and

promises and

things that we be

lieve in

How

sweet it is to

love someone, how

right it is to

care

How

long it's been since

yesterday and

what about to

morrow

And

what about our

dreams and all the

memories we

changes somehow frighten me,

old

For

though my life's been good to me there's

still so much to do

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

Chorus

And I

have to say it

now it's been a

While all my

How

long it's been since

what about

tomorrow

And
