I wake in the morning and I open my eyes
and I look out the window and up to the skies
and I wonder, yes I wonder is this all there is?
I stroll in the bathroom, take a look in the mirror
My head is a vacuum and nothing is clearer
And I wonder, how did my life get to this?
I stumble downstairs and I stand in the hall
and I stare at the letters across the floor
and no one has even remembered
I grab any bottle and I pour me a glass
And I swore on the gospel but that didn't last
Straight to the brain it numbs the pain and the past
Look up at the picture hanging on the wall
Me and you when we had it all
Funny oh that money I can recall
Then one day you just up and gone
Round about the time it all went wrong
Leaving me all alone
He was a funny man
He could make you laugh, make you cry
My, my oh my,
He would roam from town to town
And the folks would come from miles around
Killer routines, the songs he sings
The funniest man you've ever seen
Well if I could go round again
Feel the love from the crowd, again
I bet you nine times out, out of ten
Well I could do it again
Oh, I could do it again
From the kitchen chair I can look out and see
The empty swing and our favourite tree
I was never around when you fell down and grazed your knee
Well I'm sorry son
Why can't I be there to see you ride your bike?
To pick you up and to hold you tight?
Kiss it better and tell you it's gonna be all right
I just didn't see it slip away
My life my soul gave it all away
Just to hear them say;
"He was a funny man
He could make you laugh, make you cry
My, my oh my,
He would roam from town to town
And the folks would come from miles around
Killer routines, the songs he sings
The funniest man you've ever seen"
Well If I could go round again
Feel the love from the crowd, again
I bet you nine times out, out of ten
Well I could do it again
Oh, I could do it again
Customary bow before I go
Curtain falls, on the final show
The lights go down, all around just a glow
There it is, all said and done
Something in there for everyone
Watch out hallelujah, here I come
Now they would stand, and they would cheer
I can see it now, as if it were all right here
He was a funny man
He could make you laugh, make you cry
My, my oh my,
He would roam from town to town
And the folks would come from miles around
Killer routines, the songs he sings
The funniest man you've ever seen
Well if I could go round again
Feel the love from the crowd, again
I bet you nine times out, out of ten
Well I could do it again
Oh, I could do it again
If I could go round again
Feel the love from the crowd, again
I bet you nine times out, out of ten
Well I could do it again
Oh, you know I could do it again
If I could go round again
Feel the love from the crowd, again
I bet you nine times out, out of ten
Well I could do it again
Oh, you know could do it again
And let the angels, sing!
