I' ve been lately thinking ab out my life's time
All the things I've done and how it 's been,
And I can't help believin'in my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end.
I've s een a lot of sunshine slep t out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've kn own my lady's pleas ures had myself so me friends
Spent a time or two in my o wn home.
I have to say it now it's been g ood life all in a ll,
It'#8217;s real ly fine to h ave a chance to hang aroun d.
And l ie there by the fire and w atch the evening t ire,
While all my fr iends and my old l ady sit and p ass a pipe a round
And talk of po ems and prayers and pro mises
And thi ngs that we bel ieve in, how sweet it is to l ove someone,
How rig ht it is to ca re, how long it's been since yesterday
What about to morrow and what about our dreams
And all the me mories we sh are,
D ays they pass so quickly now, the nights are sel dom long
Time around me whispers when it 's cold.
The ch anges somehow frightens me, st ill I have to smi le
It turns me on to think of growi ng old.
For tho'my life's been good to me there's s till so much to do
So many things my mind has neve r known
I'd l ike to raise a fam'ly I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on t he moon.
I have to say it now it's been g ood life all in a ll,
It'#8217;s real ly fine to h ave a chance to hang aroun d.
And l ie there by the fire and w atch the evening t ire,
While all my fr iends and my old l ady sit and p ass a pipe a round
And talk of po ems and prayers and pro mises
And thi ngs that we bel ieve in, how sweet it is to l ove someone,
How rig ht it is to ca re, how long it's been since yesterday
What about to morrow and what about our dreams
And all the me mories we sh are,
