I thought I had more time
But the clock doesn't seem to care
Watching as I passed by
I always wanted to be there

I know I owe you so much
You were always a part of my life
How do I carry on
One more time in the lights

And moment by moment
The pieces of the puzzle
Always fall into place
And give us wisdom
A slowly forming picture of an older face

So open a book and write it all down
It seems like a dream, a treasure I found
Write me a song and sing it tonight
Raise up a glass to the story of my life

So many years we've seen
How many more will there be
It's been a crazy ride
You were always there by my side

And moment by moment
The pieces of the puzzle
Always fall into place
And give us wisdom
A slowly forming picture of an older face

So open a book and write it all down
It seems like a dream, a treasure I found
Write me a song and sing it tonight
Raise up a glass to the story of my life
