Lifetime Achievement

(album: Lifetime Achievement - 2022)

I have lived a lifetime
And it's hard to be believed
I'm near the end, time's almost up
So what have I achieved?
I have done and won some things
Awards, I have a few
But the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to win you

Trophies on my mantelpiece
Citations on my wall
Accolades and autographs, yes
I guess I've got them all
But all these honors don't add up
To all that much, it's true
That the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to win you

Gold records and blue ribbons
Bronze statuettes and plaques
We all want to be winners
Admit it, face the facts
But I couldn't win what I craved the most
That's the thing we all dream of
It's the loving cup we long for
With our names engraved in love

As for my life achievement
It's just a hill of beans
In the end what's justified
Is not what it all means
I have done and won some things
But I lost myself, who knew?
That the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to find you
Who needs cash and prizes?
What I achieved is you
