And Yet

They say I've reached the time of life,
that's slightly past the prime of life
cnd yet and yet towards the sun I'm turning

They say that I should save myself it's time
that I behaved my self
cnd yet and yet there's bridges still for burning

Let the young and foolish pick the blossom off the vine
There's years to waste
before they taste the flavour of the wine

The rose buds I've been gathering
the children I've been fathering,
may fade and die take wings and fly,
and leave to my regret

cnd yet and yet,
it seems to me the best
is yet to be.
