All That Matters
He said...
Well I finally hit that number
40, hell I'm going under
Here comes the crisis
I won't last the night
He said...
What have I done In my life
Did I do enough, did I fight
Was I half the man I could be
Was I the friend I should be
She said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the past
Live in 'the now'
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
She Said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the voices
In your mind
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
Coz' all that matters
Is I love you
All that matters is I love you
He said...
I wish I'd learned to play the guitar
Instead of waiting for the abattoir
I could sit on the Sun porch
Sing my kids a song
A goodnight lullaby, ooh, yeah
But It's too late now
I've run out of time
She said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the past
Live in 'the now'
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
She Said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the voices
In your mind
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
Coz' all that matters
Is I love you
And they said...
Daddy don't be sad
40's when life begins
Now 50's when you should feel bad
And he laughed so hard he cried
Something shifted deep inside
From that moment he made a rule
To live life to the full
Now 30 years moved on
He's 70 - and still young
Guitar in his hands
Grandson on his knee, singing...
Well I finally hit that number
40, hell I'm going under
Here comes the crisis
I won't last the night
He said...
What have I done In my life
Did I do enough, did I fight
Was I half the man I could be
Was I the friend I should be
She said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the past
Live in 'the now'
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
She Said...
You gotta' let go somehow
Forget the voices
In your mind
It don't matter what you did
Or didn't do
Coz' all that matters
Is I love you
All that matters is I love you
He said...
I wish I'd learned to play the guitar

To live life to the full
Now 30 years moved on
He's 70 - and still young
Guitar in his hands
Grandson on his knee, singing...
