John Kongos I Would Have Had A Good Time
I've learned to chew very well
Every minute of my time
The face you see is my diary
Years in every line
No matter what you know
You got a long way to grow
Before you catch me
My legs are getting slower
And my hands are growing weak
And some days I must think awhile
Before I speak
But don't pity me
I'm not what you think you see
Your eyes are green
I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time
I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I was both in my life
Life's been hard, so have I
Had my share of strife
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad
I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time
I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I've been both in my time
Time is going faster nowadays
And days too soon are night
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad
