Sesame Street - Poems, Prayers And Promises lyrics

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 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 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 pa** a 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. Days they pa** so quickly now, the nights are seldom long Time around me whispers when it's cold. The changes somehow frightens me, still I have to smile It turns me on to think of growing old. It's tho' 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 fam'ly I'd like to sail away Dance across the mountains on the moon. I have to say it now it's been 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 pa** a 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.
