I'm Still Here

(album: Hello Like Before - 2014)

Good times and bad times, I've seen them all and, my dear
I'm still here
Plush velvet sometimes, sometimes just crisps and beer
And I'm here
I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues
Seen all my dreams disappear, and I'm here

I've been to Reno, I've been through Beverly Hills
And I'm here
Plenty of vino, rest cures, religion and pills
And I'm here
I've had my moments with the best
Watched while the headlines did the rest
I should have gone to a different school, that's seems clear
I met a big financier, and I'm here

I've listened to: "Hey, lady aren't you? What's her name?
Wow, what a looker you were
Or better yet, didn't you used to be?
What's her name? What ever happened to her?"

Ha ha, black sabel one day, next day it all disappears
And I'm here
Top billing Monday, Tuesday you lived you worst fears
And I'm here
I've run the gammet from A to Z
Three cheers and damm it, c'est la vie
I've got through all of last year, and I'm here
Lord knows at least I was there, now I'm here
Look who's here
I'm still here
