Billy Joel — Famous Last Words

[Verse 1] Sitting here in Avalon Looking at the pouring rain Summer time has come and gone And everybody's home again [Pre-Chorus] Closing down for the season I found the last of the souvenirs I can still taste the wedding cake And it's sweet after all these years [Chorus] These are the last words I have to say That's why it took so long to write There will be other words some other day But that's the story of my life [Verse 2] Comfort in my coffee cup Apples in the early fall They're pulling all the moorings up And gathering at the Legion hall [Pre-Chorus] Swept away all the streamers After the labor day parade There's nothing left for a dreamer now Only one final serenade [Chorus] And these are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I have to play But that's the story of my life [Bridge] And its so clear standing here where I am Ain't that what justice is for? Frankly my dear I don't give a damn Anymore (Hey, yeah, hey) [Pre-Chorus] Stacked all the chairs on the table tops Hanged the sheets on the chandeliers It slows down, but it never stops Ain't it sweet after all these years [Chorus] And these are the last words I have to say It's always hard to say goodbye (Ho, oh-oh) But now it's time to put this book away Then that's the story of my life (Hey, yeah-oh) These are the last words I have to say That's why it took so long to write There will be other words some other day Ain't that the story of my life? (Oh-oh-oh-oh) These are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I have to play Yeah that's the story of my life...
