How long it’s been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
Talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
I’ve seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
While all my friends and my old lady, sit and watch the sun go down
It’s really fine to have a chance to hang around
And dance across the mountains on the moon, yes I would
So many things my mind's never known
How long it’s been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
The changes somehow frighten me, still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around
And spent a night or two in my own home
Talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
I have to say it now, it’s been a good life, all in all
I know I’m gonna hate to see it end
Spent a night or two all on my own
What about our dreams and all the memories we share?
I’d like to raise a family, I’d like to sail away
Time around me whispers when it’s cold
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
It’s really fine to have the chance to hang around
For though my life’s been good to me there’s still so much to do
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
I’ve known my lady’s pleasures, had myself some friends
And I can’t help believing in my own mind
I have to say it now, it’s been a good life, all in all
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long
