i’VE been around

Curtain down, its time to go
End of the story, end of the show
Theres no need it would seem
In hanging round this lonely town
I played to win, I lost a few
I made the papers, and Ive been old news
But when Im done, let it be
Written down: Ive been around
Ive been a beggar down on your street
Ive had a treasure laid at my feet
I played a hero, Ive been a clown
I flew like an arrow close to the ground
So raise a glass, clear the floor
Ill take the last dance, and Ill find the door
And Ill smile, while the house
Lights go out cause Ive been around
Ive been loved, Ive been lost
Ive been found
But Ive been around
Ive been around
