| Curtain down, it’s time to go
|
| End of the story, end of the show
|
| There’s no need it would seem
|
| In hanging round this lonely town
|
| I played to win, I lost a few
|
| I made the papers, and I’ve been old news
|
| But when I’m done, let it be
|
| Written down: I’ve been around
|
| I’ve been a beggar down on your street
|
| I’ve had a treasure laid at my feet
|
| I played a hero, I’ve been a clown
|
| I flew like an arrow close to the ground
|
| So raise a glass, clear the floor
|
| I’ll take the last dance, and I’ll find the door
|
| And I’ll smile, while the house
|
| Lights go out 'cause I’ve been around
|
| I’ve been loved, I’ve been lost
|
| I’ve been found
|
| But I’ve been around
|
| I’ve been around |
