The Mowgli’s
I’ve Been Around
Well, I've been around
From coast to shining coast
Been floating like a ghost
On every golden ray of light
Like sunshine's narrow roads
It's not that I can't sit still
It's that I won't, and never will
So I'll leave this town and won't come back
Until I've got my fill
Well, I've been around
The eyes of my soul
Can turn sorrow into gold
It took a million lifetimes
'Til I could learn to lose control
You see, I'm changing all the time
These forever open eyes
Are always painting pictures of the beauty in our lives
(One, two, three, four)
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
Well, I am at peace with everything I see
The people on the street
They float like feathers
Blow like leaves right through the trees
From my head down to my knees
From my knees down to my feet
I walk along because where I am is where I need to be
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
And I'm still around
The love that I've known
Blooms softly in my bones
I dream of getting stronger before I dream of growing old
And so I'm laughing all the time
The smiles draw their lines
Without love inside our lives
There is no love inside our eyes
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
(We'll never be as young as we are tonight)
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
