I'm Forty Now |
There were barefoot dreams of catching outlaws |
There were school dreams of catching footballs |
There were young dreams of finding great romance |
There were armies and I took the chance |
There were avenues of glory and some deep despair |
That put subtle shapes of silver in my hair |
Well I’m forty now and I’m a man |
But I can’t resist the urge to put dreams in my plans |
So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows |
Maybe life begins for me, I’m forty now |
There were summer nights and there were good days |
Life was water and I made waves |
Oh I was crazy then so I made some breaks |
Maybe God can look the other way |
Either good outweighs the bad or we forget the bad |
I’m thankful for a few friends that I’ve had |
'Cause I’m forty now and I’m a man |
But I can’t resist the urge to put dreams in my plans |
So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows |
Maybe life begins for me, I’m forty now |
Well I’m forty now |
