JFK - THE NIGHT BEFORE
We'll nevermore mention
some things we could tell,
your struggle so long getting here,
there's no man in heaven
who's not been through hell
nor never a man without fear;
Your world must go on
in just part of a day,
with what you've been doing thus far,
tonight you must sleep,
where you go's a long way,
from where you have been, and who you are;
you've given your best,
and some times you've done less,
We'll not mention which one set you free.
From where you will go,
all the world in its mess
will see death is what life must be;
the world may forget
some things you have done;
tomorrow won't be a whole day;
but nothing's as bad
as to keep holding on
to a dream that has gone away;
there's less of tomorrow
than comes to your mind,
and some might see this as a crime,
take all you might need
from all you might find,
the world will love you for all time.
