lyrics

I thought I had the answer
Now I don’t know what it is
If I, looked a little closer
Because no one ever did

In my head, I see a picture
But the face is not so clear
And as I, grew much older
Too much changed throughout the years

Oh, when life gets dim
And now I’m turning in

I want to, start a new day
I went looking for a place
And all that, I remembered
Is now gone without a trace

If my heart, wasn’t bitter
No amount of time could make me change
And the children, all play outside
When I’m inside with the rain

Oh, when life gets dim
And now I’m turning in

I thought I had the answer
But I don’t know what it is
If I ever, looked a little closer
Because no one ever did, no one ever did
Oh, how life gets dim
And now I’m just tuning in
