It뭩 the morning soon he뭠l rise
Find the glasses for his eyes
Aren뭪 what they used to be
Picks up the clothes he뭩 worn so long
On the bureau sits the picture of a lady
And the mural of a man who뭩 been gone for many years
(CHORUS)
The old man walks in Echo Park
From bench to bench he moves from morning 몋il dark
For the ducks some bread he brings
Wonder if he뭠l feed them this time next spring
Listening to the children play
Reminds him of other days
Many years ago
Thoughts of a child that he helped grow
And the memory of a letter saying dear sir
We regret to inform you, your son will not be coming home
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
Old man tell me are there fears
Do you measure life in years
Or is one day all you뭠l ever know
I뭭e got to know
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(CODA)
Have I been a good man
Have I tried to see the light
Wish I may, wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Have I been a good man
It뭩 the morning soon he뭠l rise
Find the glasses for his eyes
Aren뭪 what they used to be
Picks up the clothes he뭩 worn so long
On the bureau sits the picture of a lady
And the mural of a man who뭩 been gone for many years
