Sunrise brings another day
And I hope that today may be gay
Because too much of my life has been no good
If I could go back, I surely would
Fifty years into the past
When every day was a blast
And I lived in peace and prosperity
With love and life and tenacity
Dreams have come and dreams have gone
Another night, I dream 'till dawn
I see myself when I was young
My heart was light with cheerful song
But, fifty years it has been since
And forgive me if I do wince
But, every year is nothing it seems
Compared with those years that haunt my dreams
Fifty years have passed me by
Another day--it makes me cry
To know that my life has been
And will be all that I have seen
