Everly Brothers Poems Prayers And Promises Lyrics

I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two, all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures
Had myself some friends

Spent a time or two in my own home
I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all
I's really fine to have a chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire, watch the evening tire

While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in

How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow?

And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long

Time around me whispers when it's cold
Changes somehow frighten me Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old

For though my life's been good to me
There's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away

And dance across the mountains on the moon
I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire, and watch the evening tire

While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in

How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow?

And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
