(verse 1)
D G/A - D
I've been laid to thinking about my lifetime,
G/A
All the things I've done and how it's been,
D G/A D
And I can't help believin' in my own mind,
G/A
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end,
(verse 2)
D G/A D
I've seen alot of sunshine, slept out in the rain.
G/A
Spent a night or two all on my own,
D G/A D
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends,
G/A
Spent a time or two in my own home,
G A7 D G
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all,
D Bm Em
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around,
A7 G A7 D G
And lie there by the fire, and watch the evenin' tire,
D Bm Em7 A7
while all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass the pipe around,
G Fm G D
And talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in,
Dmaj7 G A G
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care,
Fmaj7 Em D
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow,
Dmaj7 G A D - G - D
And what about our dreams, and all the memories we share,
(verse 3)

D G/A D
The days, they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long,
G/A
Time around me whispers when it's cold,
D G/A D
Changes some how frighten me, still I have to smile,
G/A
It turns me on to think of growing old,
(verse 4)
D G/A D
For tho' my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do,
G/A
So many things my mind has never known,
D G/A D
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away,
G/A
And dance across the mountains on the moon,
(chorus)
