Poems, Prayers And Promises

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been lately thinking About my life's time And all the things I've done and want to do And I can't help believing In my own mind I know I'm gonna hate to see the end [Verse 2] I've seen a lot of sunshine Slept out in the rain I've spent a million nights all on my own I've known my own displeasures Had myself some friends I spent a million days inside my room [Pre-Chorus] 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 watching fire Watch it burn the evening tire With my best friends, two silly twins Animating clouds [Chorus] And talk of poems, prayers and promises Things I want to be in How sweet it is to love someone How nice it is to care How long it's been since yesterday And what about tomorrow What about our dreams And all the memories we share [Verse 3] Days, they don't pass quickly now Nights are always long And time around me whispers "You're so old" Change, it always scares me Still I try to smile But I just feel exhausted pale and cold [Verse 4] Sometimes my life's good to me There's still so much to do So many things my mind has never known I'd like to run away from here Sleep all day past noon Take pictures of the mountains on the moon [Pre-Chorus] 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 watching fire Watch it burn the evening tire With my best friends, two silly twins Animating clouds [Chorus] Talk of poems, prayers and promises Things I want to be in How sweet it is to love someone How nice it is to care How long it's been since yesterday And what about tomorrow What about our dreams And all the memories we share
