Lyrics I'll Be Back - The Who

I'll Be Back

The time has come
For us to see
If you’ll take me once again
But darlin' I’ll be back
I’ll be reborn
I know I’ll always want to be your friend
This life was like climbing
So glad I put the time in
I’ve got so used to loving you
In this life, you sure blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I’ve been so happy loving you
I’ve lived too long
Lost so much time
I must accept I might be finally dying, yeah
What will survive
Is my consciousness
(It's what I’d guess)
And when I’m alive again you’ll be my happiness
(Yes, yes, yes)
Next life I will be climbing again
So glad I put the time in, and then
I’ll remember how I once loved only you
In this life, you sure blessed me
I would want that again, you see
To be happy again by loving you
I was young, rigged guitar
Long hair, big car
No more «big star»
Just be happy and go far
Not too far
Love my town, love the boys
Down the Goldhawk Bar
Parkas and boxing boots
Faces were doing toots
We had no cash for that
Just had some hash for that
Lost my virginity
Kate took the piss out of me
Didn’t care much who doubted me
Then I found dignity with you
This life was like climbing
I’m so glad I put the time in
I got so used to loving you
In this life, you sure blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I’ve been so happy loving you
Do you believe in life after this?
What science decries as only a myth
We hang on to dreams like pagans
From some ancient days
Then we get on and live out our life
Till we’re looking right into the light
We’ll only know for sure
When we’re lost in the haze
The time has come
For us to see
If you’ll take me once again
But darling, I’ll be back
I’ll be reborn
And I know I’ll always want to be your friend
I’ll always want to be your friend
