I've Been Around Lyrics

I've Been Around

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
I've been around
the eyes of my soul
can turn sorrow into gold
it took a million lifetimes
until 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
we'll never be as young as we are tonight
well I am at peace with everything I see
all the people on the street
they float like feathers
flow 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 never be as young as we are tonight
well 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
I let 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
