I've spent a long time Makin' my dream come true I guess you could say I've paid some dues I can't take it with me But neither can you What am I gonna do Oh Lord, what am I gonna do I've spent a long time Singin' the blues And all of the sad songs that I knew The music's still waitin' To make its debut What am I gonna do Oh Lord, what am I gonna do Wasted years, where are they comin' to Precious time, where's it all goin' All the melodies, paceful harmony I thought I could never lose Oh Lord, I thought I could never lose Music make you laugh It'll make you cry My music take you high Music take you low and lets you go Up to the sky so high, so high Wasted years, where are the comin' to Precious time, where's it all goin' All the memories comin' back at me I thought I could never lose Oh Lord, what am I gonna do
