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
