I've been lately thinkin' about 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 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
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire
And watch the evenin' 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 its 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 its 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 a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evenin' 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 its been since yesterday
What about tomorrow?
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share?
