As the days go by

The memories that fade

Like the setting of the sun upon the Earth

And all we leave behind are the friendships that we made

So understand a smile for what it’s worth

 

Just one thing I ask before you go

Play me that old song you used to know

And I will sit right here just singing that same old song

Wondering where all the time has gone

 

For all the things we never had

And all those things we never did

And all those things we’re never gonna do

And all those dreams we never dreamed

And all those things we never seen

And all those things we’ll never follow through

 

Just one thing I ask before you go

Play me that old tune you used to know

And I will sit right here just singing that same old tune

Wondering whatever became of you

 

If left it all right now to follow you behind

Perhaps some things weren’t meant for me to find

For all the things I have and all I have to learn

I’d be sinning if I left those stones unturned

 

Just one thing I ask of you my friend

Never try to change a man again

‘Cause I’m gonna sit right here

Watch life go by my side

Wondering how it ever passed me by
