Lyrics
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer
The past is gone, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way?
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay
Well, 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 learn from fools and from sages
You know it’s true
All these things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away (yeah-yeah)
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me 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
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, oh-oh-oh-
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away, yeah
