Story Of A Life (LP Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Written by：Harry Chapi/Howard/Ron Albert/Stephen Chapin/Mike Lewis[00:00:05]

I can see myself[00:00:15]

It's golden sunrise[00:00:16]

Young boy[00:00:18]

Open up your eyes[00:00:19]

It's supposed to be your day[00:00:20]

Now off you go[00:00:25]

Horizon bound[00:00:26]

And you won't stop until you've found[00:00:28]

Your own kind of way[00:00:30]

And the wind will whip your tousled hair[00:00:35]

The sun the rain the sweet despair[00:00:38]

Great tales of love and strife[00:00:41]

And somewhere on your path to glory[00:00:46]

You will write your story[00:00:48]

Of a life[00:00:51]

And all the towns that you walk through[00:00:56]

And all the people that you talk to[00:00:58]

Sing you their songs[00:01:01]

And there are times you change your stride[00:01:06]

There are times you can't decide[00:01:09]

Still you go on[00:01:12]

And then the young girls dance their gypsy tunes[00:01:16]

And share the secrets of the moon[00:01:19]

So soon you find a wife[00:01:21]

And though she sees your dreams go poorly[00:01:27]

Still she joins your story of a life[00:01:29]

So you settle down[00:01:47]

And the children come[00:01:48]

And you find a place[00:01:50]

That you come from[00:01:51]

Your wandering is done[00:01:53]

And all your dreams of open spaces[00:01:58]

You find in your children's faces[00:02:00]

One by one[00:02:03]

And all the trips you know you missed[00:02:08]

And all the lips you never kissed[00:02:10]

Cut through you[00:02:13]

Like a knife[00:02:15]

And now you see stretched out before thee[00:02:18]

Just another story of a life[00:02:21]

So what you do now[00:02:27]

When she looks at you now[00:02:30]

You know those same old jokes all the jesters tell[00:02:32]

You tell them to her now[00:02:36]

And all the same old songs all the minstrels sang[00:02:40]

You sing 'em to her now[00:02:43]

But it don't matter anyhow[00:02:47]

'Cause she knows by now[00:02:50]

So every chance you take don't mean a thing[00:03:03]

What variations can you bring[00:03:06]

To this shopworn melody[00:03:09]

And every year goes by like a tollin' bell[00:03:13]

It's battered merchandise you sell[00:03:16]

Not well she can see[00:03:19]

And though she's heard it all a thousand times[00:03:23]

Couched in your attempted rhymes[00:03:27]

She'll march to your drum and fife[00:03:29]

But the question echoes up before me[00:03:34]

Where's the magic story of a life[00:03:37]

Story of a life[00:03:45]

Story[00:03:50]

Story of a life[00:03:55]

Story[00:04:00]

Now sometimes words can serve me well[00:04:05]

Sometimes words can go to hell[00:04:08]

For all that they do[00:04:11]

And for every dream that took me high[00:04:16]

There's been a dream that's passed me by[00:04:18]

I know it's so true[00:04:21]

And I can see it clear out to the end[00:04:25]

And I'll whisper to her now again[00:04:29]

Because she shared my life[00:04:32]

For more than all the ghosts of glory[00:04:36]

She makes up the story[00:04:39]

She's the only story[00:04:43]

Of my life[00:04:48]
