The years and tasks have taken their toll Now gray in my beard and shine on my skull But the nicotine hits, and helps pass the time Still feel something missing, like I'm out of a rhyme The friends and music that once filled the air Now silent, replaced by the burdens we bear But I've come to accept what the years have unfurled The past may be gone, but I've got my own world For in their small hands, I see a love so true Their future is bright and it makes mine too

Painful Past, Hopeful Future (C, Am, F, G)
The years and tasks have taken their toll Now gray in my beard and shine on my skull But the nicotine hits, and helps pass the time Still feel something missing, like I'm out of a rhyme The friends and music that once filled the air Now silent, replaced by the burdens we bear But I've come to accept what the years have unfurled The past may be gone, but I've got my own world For in their small hands, I see a love so true Their future is bright and it makes mine too
