lyrics

ONCE AGAIN I’M SINGING THIS SONG
THE ONE I WROTE WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND EVERYONE SINGS ALONG AND SWAYS TO THE RHYTHM
BUT THE WORDS ARE NAÏVE
THE VIEWPOINT I NO LONGER BELIEVE
BUT I KNOW THEY WON’T LET ME LEAVE ‘TIL THIS SONGS BEEN GIVEN

FOR FORTY YEARS I TROD THESE BOARDS
FIFTEEN ALBUMS FOUR AWARDS

ONCE AGAIN I’M UP ON THIS STAGE
PLAYING TO PEOPLE OF A CERTAIN AGE
SONGS FROM OUR YOUNGER DAYS WHEN WE HAD TOMORROW
BUT THE WORLD HAS MOVED ON
AND I’VE WRITTEN SO MANY SONGS
BUT NO-ONE WANTS TO HEAR THE NEW ONES OR FACE THEIR SORROWS

FOR FORTY YEARS I’VE PLAYED THESE HALLS
I’VE PAINTED MY FACE TOOK THE APPLAUSE

ONCE AGAIN I’LL PLAY THE OLD SONGS
AND EVERYONE WILL SING ALONG
BUT THE WORDS ARE ALL WRONG AND HALF FORGOTTEN
