The first thing I recall was the rain upon my window And the tricks the light would play While I watched the water run Things were easier that day, than they’d be forever after In the spring, when all my world was filled With the things I hadn’t done, the things I hadn’t done I was new and wild and green in those budding days of April I was caught up in the dream Of the journey just begun Beneath the endless sky, the road stretched out to beckon With the promise of adventure, and of stories yet unsung Stories yet unsung The dreams that fill a lifetime, are the treasures to be saved There’s precious time to spare between the cradle and the grave I’m standing in the rain, in the leaves of late September The seasons flying past me now and winter’s coming on And I feel a stab of pain & regret when I remember All the dreams that I had wished for And the things I haven’t done The things I haven’t done And every drop of rain is like the sound of gentle laughter At the dreams that I had wished for And the things I haven’t done The things I haven’t done
