Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Tumbling Ball

Maybe I'll remember

The old house standing on the avenue

Till the day I die

Maybe I'll remember

The kids coming home from the playground

Sand in their shoes and their mother's eyes

Surely I'll recall the day in my life

When I looked in the eyes of a woman

And I knew right then and there that's my wife

And the world keeps turning

Like a big blue tumbling ball

And the times that you spend

With the ones you love just seem so small

Am I just a drop in the ocean after all

Maybe I will always

Think of myself as a young man

Holding both hands to the rod and the reel

Maybe I will always

Remember the day dad passed away

And I still don't know how to feel

There's nothing I love more than my family

When we all get to heaven

I hope for a minute

That they still remember me...

And the world keeps turning

Like a big blue tumbling ball

And the times that you spend

With the ones you love just seem so small

And the world keeps spinning

Like a big blue tumbling ball

And it's hard to believe

That you ever really played a part at all

Am I just a drop in the ocean after all

And the world keeps spinning

Like a big blue tumbling ball

And the world keeps spinning

Like a big blue tumbling ball

And it's hard to believe

That you ever really played a part at all

Am I just a drop in the ocean after all
