This Could Be My Last Song

Looking back on this life It's hard to understand How time just seems to fly When you're an older man Whatever happened to all those dreams And all those crazy plans? I never really got the chance to do They just slipped right through my hands Through my hands Through my hands And looking back on all I've learned I still find it hard to tell If there really is a heaven Or if there really is a hell It's an age-old conversation That's been had since dawn began But you just seem to spend more time on it Now you're an older man Older man An older man And this could be my last song My final swan song Before the curtain call Well, I hope I played my part well For I know so well There's no encore I often wonder what it is That we're all craving for Some kind of justification That our lives are getting short Is it intelligence or arrogance that saves? There must be more We can't accept the fact that this is it And it leaves us so unsure So unsure Unsure They say that wisdom comes with age But that's not always the case You'd be a fool to judge a wise man By the lines upon his face I know I've done some stupid things Some things I can't forget And no time left now to put them right Is the one thing I regret I regret Regret This could be the last song The final swan song Before the curtain call And I hope I played my part well For I know so well There's no encores
