Poems, Prayers And Promises

[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
