REST OF MY DAYS LYRICS:
rest of my days here
rest of my days here
gonna spend the rest of my days here
though the summer ain't what it used to be
you'd think I'd be more amazed dear
about the things that come between you and me
what I'm trying to say here, is I know we often disagree
but the one thing that remains clear
it was something that was meant to be
SO YOU WANT SOMEONE TO SING ALONG
SING IT LIKE IT WAS THEIR OWN SONG
WELL YOU'RE BOUND TO BE SINGING ALL ALONE
OFF THE GROUND, YOU'RE NOT A STONE
WHO COULD OF KNOWN?
I'D BE SPENDING THE REST OF MY DAYS, HERE?
rest of my days here
rest of my days here
gonna spend the rest of my days here
singing songs about the yesteryear
and the face that remains clear
is now the one that is so far from here
what they'd have you believe in
well you could starve yourself and never win
but when nothing is far from end
it has a way of creeping up, my friend
SO YOU WANT SOMEONE TO SING ALONG
SING IT LIKE IT WAS THEIR OWN SONG
WELL YOU'RE BOUND TO BE SINGING ALL ALONE
OFF THE GROUND, YOU'RE NOT A STONE
WHO COULD OF KNOWN?
I'D BE SPENDING THE REST OF MY DAYS, HERE?
you'd be spending the rest of your days there
I'll be spending the rest of my days here
aw, yea the rest of my days here....
rest of my days here
rest of my days here.......
