Lyrics

Ev ’ry (Dm7)time that I (Dm6)look in the mir ror,

all these (Dm7)lines on my (Dm6)face get tin’ clear er.

The past is gone;

(Dm)it went (Dm7)by like dusk to dawn.

Is n’t that the way

(B)ev ’ry bod y’s got their dues in life to pay?

I know (C)no bod y knows (Bb)where it comes and where it goes.

I know it’s (C)ev ’ry bod y’s sin; (Bb)you got to lose to know how to (Dm)win.

Half my (Dm7)life’s in (Dm6)books’ writ ten pag es,

lived and (Dm7)learned from (Dm6)fools and from sag es.

You know it’s (Dm6)true,

all these (Dm7)things

come back to you.

Sing with me, (C)sing for the years, (Bb)sing for the laugh ter ’n’ sing for the tears.

Sing with me if it’s (C)just for to day, (Bm7)may be to mor row the (Bb)good Lord will take you a way.

Sing with me, (C)sing for the years, (Bb)sing for the laugh ter ’n’ sing for the tears.

Sing with me if it’s (C)just for to day, (Bb)may be to mor row the (C)good Lord will take you a way.

Sing with me, (C)sing for the years, (Bb)sing for the laugh ter ’n’ sing for the tears.

Sing with me if it’s (C)just for to day, (Bb)may be to mor row the (C)good Lord will take you a way.

(Bm7)may be to mor row the (Bb)good Lord will take you a (A)way.
