I've learned to chew very well Every minute of my time The face you see is my diary Years in every line No matter what you know You got a long way to grow Before you catch me My legs are getting slower And my hands are growing weak And some days I must think awhile Before I speak But don't pity me I'm not what you think you see Your eyes are green I can see much better now I can see so clearly now If only I knew them as much as I do now I would have had a good time Would have had a good time I've known wise men and I've danced with fools I was both in my life Life's been hard, so have I Had my share of strife It's not the things you do It's what you never get round to That makes you sad I can see much better now I can see so clearly now If only I knew them as much as I do now I would have had a good time Would have had a good time I've known wise men and I've danced with fools I've been both in my time Time is going faster nowadays And days too soon are night It's not the things you do It's what you never get round to That makes you sad
