When I was young and running free the music flowed like wine I took it all and then some more, I knew the world was mine The ladies could always turn my head When they graced me with their company To those fair ladies I'll raise my glass for they were kind to me Friends may come and friends may go, some have no time to stay Some will shake the devil's tail and some just lose their way To those dear friends I've known and loved I thank you for being there Your friendship is a memory that nothing can compare Sometimes I think I got it right, maybe sometimes I got it wrong I guess it turned out for the best when all is said and done I'll write a song for those I love, I cannot give much more I'll turn around for one last smile, before I close the door Time is moving faster now, time enough to know Time to make it count somehow before it's time to go This is not a song of woe, don't let it cause you pain Even knowing what I know I'd do it all again I thank you for your company and staying with me for a while If you have cause to think of me I hope it makes you smile If you have cause to think of me I hope it makes you smile
