My time has come, I have to go I leave you all with no regrets The life I lived was good to me But in the end it could not be 'Cause it became much more than I could take And yet I never ran away You see ol' friend, I'm just a boy Who never a chance to grow And played his hand as best he could I sang of love, as lovers should And as the years pass be by Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry But without love, I could not be It was too much, even for me So it became much more than I could take And yet I never ran away They called me king, they made me grand My voice has swept across the land But what they never even knew The songs I sang were all for you
