lyrics
Verse 1:
In a time so long ago
There was an old man not many did know
He didn't have much money to spend
And he feared that his life was nearing its end. So,
Pre-chorus:
He spent his last little while
Trying to give people a smile
Although they hadn't returned the favor as it seems.
Chorus:
And so he will go back home
And then take some time alone
Give himself some time to feel at peace in the busy world he lives in.
He'll take his guitar
And play a song or two
To bring back memories of when his life was new.
Verse 2:
He had played songs from the old days
And improvised a bit as well
It takes him back to when he was younger
A time when things were swell.
Pre-chorus:
He spent his last little while
Trying to give people a smile
Although they hadn't returned the favor as it seems.
Chorus:
And so he will go back home
And then take some time alone
Give himself some time to feel at peace in the busy world he lives in.
He'll take his guitar
And play a song or two
To bring back memories of when his life was new.
Verse 2:
He had played songs from the old days
And improvised a bit as well
It takes him back to when he was younger
A time when things were swell.
Chorus:
And so he will go back home
And then take some time alone
Give himself some time to feel at peace in the busy world he lives in.
He'll take his guitar
And play a song or two
To bring back memories of when his life was new.
Outro:
His skin was white as a skeleton
When he passed right where he sat
And the very last note he played
Was just one long high E-flat.
