When I was young and running free, the music flowed like wine
          C       G                          D         G      C
I took it all and then some more, I knew the world was mine
                        G                      C                         G   D  G
The ladies could always turn my head when they graced me with their company
              C           G                             D       G
To those fair ladies I'll raise my glass, for they were kind to me

Friends may come and friends may go, some have no time to stay
          C         G                          D          G      C
Some will shake the devil's tail and some just lose their way
                           G                  C                   G      D  G
To those dear friends I've known and loved, I thank you for being there
                C    G                    D      G
Your friendship is a memory, that nothing can compare

Sometimes I think I got it right, maybe sometimes I got it wrong
           C          G                         D        G       C
I guess it turned out for the best, when all is said and done
                      G               C                G     D  G
I'll write a song for those I love, I cannot give much more
     C               G                        D         G
I'll turn around for one last smile, before I close the door

Time is moving faster now
      D        G      Em
Time enough to know
        D       C         G    C
Time to make it count somehow
                    D
Before it's time to go

This is not a song of woe, don't let it cause you pain
     C       G                      D    G      C
Even knowing what I know, I'd do it all again
                     G                   C            G      D  G
I thank you for your company and staying with me for awhile
            C        G                      D         G
If you have cause to think of me, I hope it makes you smile
            C        G                      D             G
If you have cause to think of me, I hope it makes you  -  smile
