All the Songs I’ve Ever Sung

Lyrics

I never thought I’d be so wild
At the ripe old age of fifty three
I always thought I’d remain a child
Never ready for maturity
But I was dragged kicking and screaming
When I left my youth in the past
But they can’t stop me dreaming
And the truth is: I’ve had a blast

And if I’m haunted by the memories of
All the things that I have done
I’m forgiven by the tunes of
All the songs I’ve ever sung

And if I was inattentive
Or oblivious to all the pain
That surely is my incentive
Not to make the same mistakes again
And if I could return to the start
I know I surely would
I’d play my part with a better heart
And do things the way I should

And if I’m haunted by the memories of
All the things that I have done
I’m forgiven by the tunes of
All the songs I’ve ever sung

I’d love for your forgiveness
For the hurts of former days
I’m surprised we’ve come the distance
I’m consistently amazed
And if all the lessons I’ve been taught
Had been taken in and learned
Then my life wouldn’t be so fraught
And your respect I’d’ve surely earned

And if I’m haunted by the memories of
All the things that I have done
I’m forgiven by the tunes of
All the songs I’ve ever sung
