Every time that i look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin;
You got to lose to know how to win.

Half my life's in books' written pages,
Lived and learned from fools and from sages.
You know it's true,
All these things
Come back to you.

Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream comes true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ah. ah.

Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
