I'm forty years old

And it looks like the end of the rainbow

Ain't no pot of gold

The things that I've done

I doubt anyone will remember

After I'm gone.

The places I've been

There's some I'd go back to

And some where I won't go again

And most of the time

I'm feelin' like I'm fadin' into the night.

But when I'm with you

I feel like a dreamer

That's had all his dreams come true

Like my skies are all blue

When I'm with you.

I got a good job

And I'm thankful to be workin'

When so many good people are not

Sometimes I can't stand

How my back and my hands

They won't work like they used to.

Somewhere in my mind

I'm still searchin' for something

I know that I'm not gonna find

When I know for sure

I've got so much more

Than a man ever needs.

But when I'm with you

I feel like a dreamer

That's had all his dreams come true

Like my skies are all blue

When I'm with you.

I'm forty years old

And it looks like the end of the rainbow

Ain't no pot of gold.
