Song Lyrics:
Want to be an astronaut... play golf on the moon.
Want to invent something sleek and cool that will change the world
Want to step on a stage and accept some big, tall, golden award
So I can thank all the people that came before.
If I could live enough.
If I could just live long enough to be all I want to be.
Be a deep sea diver.
Be a rich mans lawyer.
Be a toy designer.
Be a fair employer.
Be an honest lover.
Be a gracious friend.
Be the one to discover how this story ends.
How this story ends.
Ive been the scourge of the world to my first wife; salvation to my second.
Ive been a hero of sorts in the coffee shop with everyone saying, Hey, as they beckon.
Now Im anonymous and free, with a lot less to say and a lot more to reckon
If I could live enough.
If I could just live long enough to be all I want to be.
Let me be what I am.
Every day a new man.
I want too many thrills for one lifetime to fill.
Cant see where Im moving.
Cant teach what I feel.
These days theres no proving that anythings real, and so
Got to be myself and so
Got to be myself
If I live long enough.
If I live long enough.
You say you want to know me.
I cant stop my life.
You say you got to find me.
Its me, here, by your side.
Let me be what I am.
Every day a new man.
I want too many thrills for one lifetime to fill.
Cant see where Im moving.
Cant teach what I feel.
These days theres no proving that anythings real, and so
Got to be myself and so
Got to be myself.
If I live long enough I could be everything to me,
I could be everything to you.
You say you want to know me.
I cant stop my life.
You say you got to find me.
Its me, here, by your side.
Want to see what theyre saying in tomorrows news.
Want to see grandkids dancing around the way kids do.
I want to thank all the people, especially you.
If I could live enough.
If I could just live long enough to be all I want to be.
