Poems, Prayers and Promises - "Greatest Hits" Version

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
 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
 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
 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 share?
