When time creeps up
Whispers in your ear
Tells you all the things only the older souls hear
I want you
Head held high
With a fire in your heart and a pride deep in your eyes
Smiling
Smiling
Smiling
When the last of the leaves are falling from the tree
And you're on the last lines of your page in history
I want you
To have given your all
To say that you got back up after every single fall
When the lights stop shining
Theres no re-winding
Life's as fast as lightening
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When there's more road behind you than there is up front
When the hunter in your heart has almost finished up the hunt
I want you like a man untamed
Like a lion in the wild looking over his domain
Smiling
Smiling
Smiling
When you're on the last rotation going around this sun
Steady as she goes on a journey almost done
I want you to have had more than your fill
To have taken every chance
The way I know you will
When the lights stop shining
There's no re-winding
Life's as fast as lightening
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
When the lights stop shining
There's no re-winding
Life's as fast as lightening
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Smiling, smiling, smiling
