when i was a young boy
|
advice i would scorn
|
now i'm gettin' a little older
|
i know i got a lot to learn
|
|
yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles
|
i look back and laugh
|
maby, sometimes, say why?
|
|
(repeat twice)
|
|
and it always seems the same
|
and who knows what to blame
|
if i knew then what i know now
|
the mistakes i wouldn't have made...
|
but you can't get a sneak preview
|
over what you're gonna go through
|
and you have to rely on your body and mind
|
to see the light from shade
|
|
life's the same, but time does change
|
perspective of your view
|
you're lookin' for a mystery
|
but you can't find a clue
|
|
some say a man makes his life
|
some say that it's fate
|
but when you find out what to do
|
ohhh, sometimes it's too late...
