As I, sit here looking out, from this old shell within
From this old rocking chair, I see the man I've been
A resource to draw strength I hope; I did the best I knew
A perfect man I wasn't, but was I enough for you
I'm sorry if I left unsaid any, sorry's that were due
I'm sorry if there any promises not followed through
And I hope you understand if I take my final bow
You know there's no pain that I can't take, but God is calling out
Don't feel so sad
Don't let any tears fall for me
Don't feel so sad, if I'm not
You should be happy for me
As I sit here looking out, from this old weathered skin
From this kitchen window, I see my life again
I see the young man I once was, and the endless crops that I fared
I see the shop where I used to work, the million cars that I repaired
I see my children happy; they've grown up to be so tall
And I've seen my grandchildren; you know I lived to see them all
So, I have no right to be reluctant if it's my time
To move into the essence of all enduring light
Don't feel so sad
Don't let any tears fall for me
Don't feel so sad, if I'm not
You should be happy for me
Don't feel so sad
You know that I loved you
You know that I had one beautiful time here
You should be happy for me
You should be happy for me
