Lyrics
I’ve learned to chew very well
Ev’ry minute of my time,
The face you see is my diary,
Years in ev’ry line,
No matter when you know
You got a long way to grow
Before you catch me.

My legs are getting slower,
And my hands are growing weak,
And some days I must think awhile,
Before I speak.
But don’t pity me,
I’m not what you think you see.
Your eyes are green.

CHORUS
I can see much better now,
I can see so clearly now,
If only I knew as much as I do now,
I would have had a good time,
Would’ve had a good time.

I’ve known wise men and I’ve danced with fools,
I was both in my life,
Life’s been hard so have I
Had my share of strife;
It’s not the things you do,
It’s what you never get ‘round to
That makes you sad.

I’ve known wise men and I’ve danced with fools,
I’ve been both in my time,
Time is going faster nowdays,
And days too soon are night,
It’s not the things you do,
It’s what you never get ‘round to
That makes you sad.

CHORUS
