I remember when
The summer days were long
And the fields were so green
And the air was so clean
So much room to live

And I remember when
I never felt alone
For the passage of time
Was a journey so fine
And it never could end

Now I know that I'm older
The good life is over
The weight on my shoulder
Is slowing me down more each day
Please understand I'm not sure of the way

At the end of a lifetime
A moment of sunshine
Can be such a good sign
So why don't you smile your hello

I watch you all go by
The world is different now
It's so hard and so loud
And the voice of the crowd
Doesn't call to me

Now I know that I'm older
The good life is over
The weight on my shoulder
Is slowing me down more each day
Please understand I'm not sure of the way

At the end of a lifetime
A moment of sunshine
Can be such a good sign
So why don't you smile your hello
Before you go

Now I know that I'm older
The good life is over
The weight on my shoulder
Is slowing me down more each day
Please understand I'm not sure of the way

At the end of a lifetime
A moment of sunshine
Can be such a good sign
So why don't you smile your hello
Before you go
