Lyrics
Nobody knows how it feels to be you
Somehow things changed, they rearranged and you grew.
You find yourself years looking back
All the places you've seen at your back
and all the people who grew up around you moved on.
CHORUS
These are the years when you count all your blessings
Hold on to the memories that give your life meaning
These are the years when, held out before you...
the gift of your knowing
that grew from the story of you.
Nobody knows how it feels to be you...
The face that you see in the mirror
keeps changing with each passing year
but the people around you keep lovin the same
The family that grew thru the tears
keeps growing despite all your fears
the kids that you raised they all turned out OK.
CHORUS
These are the years when you count all your blessings
hold on to the memories that give your life meaning.
These are the years when held out before you..
the gift of your knowing
that grew from the story of you.
