Love Still Lingers On Lyrics

Won't you sit and stay awhile and lend an old man your ear

I've got some tales that'll make you smile and a few that'll make you tear

I've lived a life of many miles filled with, both, dark days and clear

And if you'll kindly sit and wile away some time right here

I've met, loved, and lost a lot of good folk in this life of mine, you see

And now I'm the last, it's a cruel joke, because pain's a poor substitute for glee

If I had one chance to do it all again… but differently

I really wouldn't change too many things, because then it would change me

I did good things and I did bad things, but nothing too extreme

I had two great kids and a pretty wife… man, we made a great team

When a bad day came and knocked me down, I'd look at them and beam

Because even on a day that's a nightmare, I knew I was living the dream

I don't much believe in an afterlife… it's a crazy idea

I've done the best I can do in this life so a punishing god's not a fear

And I know that there's better and there's worse folk that did better and worse down here

So when my time on earth comes to an end, I'll go with a conscience that's clear

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The years go fast while the days go slow

And before you know it... it's all gone

And even though I'm the last I know

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on

The love still lingers on
