To Death In Your Life

When we were young, did you listen To all the cars that zoomed on by then When we were young, could you hear All of the people that spoke in your ear When we grew older, did you see All of the people growing up with me When we grew older, did your eyes Catch all the people that told us lies When we got old, did you feel The creaking and the clanging of steel When we got old, could you touch All of the hands that were broken and such Now that we've died, do you regret All that we knew and the people we met Now that we've died, do you lament Never telling our loved ones how much they meant
