Famous Last Words Lyrics - River Of Dreams - Billy Joel

Sitting here in avalon, looking at the pouring rain 

Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again 

Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs 

I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years 

These are the last words I have to say 

That's why this took so long to write 

There will be other words some other day 

But that's the story of my life 

There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall 

They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the legion hall 

They swept away all the streamers after the labor day parade 

Nothing left for a dream now, only one final serenade

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And these are the last words I have to say 

Before another age goes by 

With all those other songs I'll have to play 

But that's the story of my life 

And it's so clear standing here where I am 

Ain't that what justice is for? 

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore 

Stack the chairs on the table tops 

Hang the sheets on the chandeliers 

It slows down but it never stops 

Ain't it sweet after all these years

And these are the last words I have to say 

It's always hard to say goodbye 

But now it's time to put this book away 

Ain't that the story of my life
