Lyrics
Everyone's life's a story
With its own special tale
Something's I would change
Something's just as well
Each story paints a portrait
Of how we make our way
A living motion picture
As we drift about our days
(Chorus)
I coulda made the better choice
Or so I been told
I got a pocket full a wishes
And the other Fools Gold
I know that I've grown richer
As I'm growing old
With a pocket full of Memories
And the other Fools Gold
The years they drift by in chapters
many milestones mark our age
we all have a different story
we all write a different page
Each story paints a portrait
Of how we make our way
A living motion picture
As we drift about our days
(Chorus)
If I could go back in time
Its probably just as well
I'd have made the same old choices
With the same old tale to tale
(Chorus)
