Lyrics
Prime of Life words & music by Deborah DeDe Wedekind, music by Joey Leone, Copyright 2015 DeDe Wedekind
V 1 Might have took some time
To get me to this place,
When I look in the mirror
These changes I see,
So hard to embrace.
Yesterday was spring
Came so easily,
Now summer's just a memory.
Chorus:
Its the prime of life
Once again the seasons start to change
But I'm still standing here
A lot of years left for me to live...
V2 Travelin' down this road
I've hit some bumps and breaks
Learned some real hard lessons
Grateful for each friend
Found along the way.
No instruction books
Choices and mistakes,
But at least they were all mine to make.
Chorus: It's the prime of life
Once again the seasons start to change
But I'm still standing here
A lot of years left for me to live....
Instrumental 8 measures....
V3 (Broken Down)
Time with family
A time for everything
Shadows keep getting longer,
Over my shoulder
Sun's about to set.
But I'm okay now
Never stronger,
It's not perfect, but it's as close as it gets...
Chorus-Broken Down:
It's the prime of life
Once again the seasons start to change
But I'm still standing here
A lot of years left for me to live....
Chorus Built Up:
It's the prime of life
Once again the season starts to change
But I'm still standing here,
A lot of years left for me to live...
A lot of love left for me to give,
A lot of love left for me to give.
