Famous Last Words

[Verse 1]

Sitting here in Avalon

Looking at the pouring rain

Summer time has come and gone

And everybody's home again

[Pre-Chorus]

Closing down for the season

I found the last of the souvenirs

I can still taste the wedding cake

And it's sweet after all these years

[Chorus]

These are the last words I have to say

That's why it took so long to write

There will be other words some other day

But that's the story of my life

[Verse 2]

Comfort in my coffee cup

Apples in the early fall

They're pulling all the moorings up

And gathering at the Legion hall

[Pre-Chorus]

Swept away all the streamers

After the labor day parade

There's nothing left for a dreamer now

Only one final serenade

[Chorus]

And these are the last words I have to say

Before another age goes by

With all those other songs I have to play

But that's the story of my life

[Bridge]

And its so clear standing here where I am

Ain't that what justice is for?

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn

Anymore (Hey, yeah, hey)

[Pre-Chorus]

Stacked all the chairs on the table tops

Hanged the sheets on the chandeliers

It slows down, but it never stops

Ain't it sweet after all these years

[Chorus]

And these are the last words I have to say

It's always hard to say goodbye (Ho, oh-oh)

But now it's time to put this book away

Then that's the story of my life (Hey, yeah-oh)

These are the last words I have to say

That's why it took so long to write

There will be other words some other day

Ain't that the story of my life? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

These are the last words I have to say

Before another age goes by

With all those other songs I have to play

Yeah that's the story of my life...
