The old man brings a tattered book to the table
It's painted with the story of his life
Like her sapphire eyes and intoxicating smile
The day he married her in ’45
Black and white or color, yeah they all matter
Takes a deep breath, turns the first page and saids

Chorus
I still remember everything
The good, the bad, the greatest moments my time's brought to me
And if I had to start again
The beginning, until the end, I'd do it just the same


He can't believe just how much the world has changed
Seen parts of almost three centuries
From a wide-eyed boy arriving at Ellis Island
To landing at the beaches of Normandy
His wife sits next to him, with a soft embrace
Steals a small kiss, turns the next page and saids


Repeat Chorus

Bridge
He lived his life with no regrets
Thanked the Lord, paid off his debts
And loved as hard as he could
As he turns the last page and saids


Repeat Chorus
