These days, the good days are fewer and farther between Sometimes the hard times a shadow on my my sky-blue dream I don't have much if you look through the eyes of the world Open me up and you might find just one shinin' pearl I've got this song, a story to tell About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say But it's all I've got left at the end of the day It's the one thing they can't take away I've got this song ♪ I've got a short list of good friends I can count on to answer my call And a long list of bad things I might not be proud of at all Show me a man who hasn't yet learned how to fall There is a man who doesn't know much yet at all I've got this song, a story to tell About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say But it's all I've got left at the end of the day It's the one thing they can't take away I've got this song ♪ I've got this song, a story to tell About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say But it's all I've got left at the end of the day It's the one thing they can't take away The one thing they can't take away I've got this song ♪ I've got this song
