These things and people will pass, no matter the care we take to preserve them and in trying to save them, there may be more sorrow and bitterness at the vain efforts to make them last. Even the most durable will surely pass away.Īnd the patches make the goodbye harder still They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeansĪnd though you want him to last forever you know he never willĭaddy's best jeans, like all things, will surely fade.
You might trouble yourself with the simple matters that seem so insurmountable today
You may now think you're invincible, but everyone dies.Īnd though your dreams may toss and turn you now You're only dancing on this earth for a short while Next generation, what will your legacy be, for the generation that is to follow you? Oh very young, what will you leave us this time Youre only dancin on this earth for a short while.
