Featuring clarinet by Raianne Richards, dedicated to my mother

lyrics

I’ve been here since the beginning, you will hopefully outlive me
And at times, life has been hard, nothing ever has been free
If I had a guiding thought, I would say never run away
No matter what mistakes are made, you honor me that way.

Chorus:
People love and people die, people sometimes hide away
I’m still standing, I’m still moving
I would be here for you always
But I’m a realist, I would be gone someday.

I’ve done a lot of traveling, not as much as I would like
I’ve been able to be here this long because I have been wise
If I knew ahead of time I would still be here today
You and I would have traveled more across the USA.
(chorus)
I still read a lot, you know, watch my programs on TV
And even if the news is not good, it’s still interesting to me
I’m a realist, it doesn’t worry me.
(chorus to end)
