Famous Last Words |
| Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain |
| Summertime has come and gone and everybody’s home again |
| Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs |
| I can still taste the wedding cake and it’s sweet after all these years |
| These are the last words I have to say |
| That’s why this took so long to write |
| There will be other words some other day |
| But that’s the story of my life |
| There’s comfot in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall |
| They’re pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall |
| They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade |
| Nothing left for a dream now, only one final serenade |
| And these are the last words I have to say |
| Before another age goes by With all those other songs I’ll have to play |
| But that’s the story of my life |
| And it’s so clear standing here where I am Ain’t that what justice is for? |
| Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn anymore |
| Stack the chairs on the table tops |
| Hang the sheets on the chandeliers |
| It slows down but it never stops |
| Ain’t it sweet after all these years |
| And these are the last words I have to say |
| It’s always hard to say goodbye |
| But now it’s time to put this book away |
| Ain’t that the story of my life |
