Lyrics
I drink my coffee black.
I buy my yogurt light.
I watch old T.V. shows all by myself till late at night.
I tend to sleep in late.
Eat breakfast half past noon.
Spend hours in the sun.
Snackin' peanuts 2 by 2.
I'm just a girl, tryin' to figure out,
The why, the who, the what, the where
of what I do and why I care.
Cause life's a mystery.
And I keep pressin' on
It could be so much easier
To call it quits and say I can't go on.
Sometimes the road feels long,
And time so short.
The years are flying by so fast
that you topped counting 'em
The kids are grown and gone.
Your folks are aging fast.
Family ties are strained at best.
When was the last time that you laughed? (chorus)
SOme days are good
Others drive me mad
I'm glad to have a friend like you,
TO lean on when I'm felling sad.
But when it's said and done,
Your the only one.
Who has to live with you
when everybody else goes home.
Did you do your best?
Disregard the rest?
Truly let it go?
Let the past stay in the past? (chorus)
