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

And spent a time or two in my own home

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 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

And 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

And time around me whispers when it's cold

The changes somehow frighten 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 a good life all in all

It's really fine

To have the 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 sh
