I've Been Around

Well, I've been around

From coast to shining coast

Been floating like a ghost

On every golden ray of light

Like sunshine's narrow roads

It's not that I can't sit still

It's that I won't, and never will

So I'll leave this town and won't come back

Until I've got my fill

Well, I've been around

The eyes of my soul

Can turn sorrow into gold

It took a million lifetimes

'Til I could learn to lose control

You see, I'm changing all the time

These forever open eyes

Are always painting pictures of the beauty in our lives

(One, two, three, four)

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

Well, I am at peace with everything I see

The people on the street

They float like feathers

Blow like leaves right through the trees

From my head down to my knees

From my knees down to my feet

I walk along because where I am is where I need to be

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

We'll never be as young as we are tonight

And I'm still around

The love that I've known

Blooms softly in my bones

I dream of getting stronger before I dream of growing old

And so I'm laughing all the time

The smiles draw their lines

Without love inside our lives

There is no love inside our eyes

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)

We'll never be as young as we are tonight
