Been down the road, to work & back, Been in what I thought was love a few times, Every once in a while, I stop & ask, Where have I been all my life? These days broccoli don't taste so bad, & neither does swallowing my pride, & I'm agreeing more & more with my old man, Where have I been all my life,' Some years are clear, & some a little blurry, Man how they fly by, Mom & dad sure got old in a hurry, Where have I been all my life, Being learning that forgiveness is as much for myself, As it is for the other guy, I read the good book these days, & believin', Where have I been all my life, Some years are clear, & some a little blurry, Man how they fly by, Mom & dad sure got old in a hurry, Where have I been all my life, Heard what a wonderful world, By Loui Armstrong, Brought a tear to my eye, After all these years, I finally get that song, Where have I been all my life?
