Thank You but No Lyrics

What would I trade for the lessons I've learned?

A settled existence with nowhere to roam?

A perfect little family in a perfect little home?

And spared the abasement of dying alone?

What would I take for the memories I've sown

Shared only with God and kindred souls?

The world in my sights? My feet on the ground?

To miss the delight of my head in the clouds?

Thank you but no.

No regrets, no regrets when I take it all in

The places I've gone, the beauty I've seen

And I'd not change a thing anywhere on the way

No regrets, no regrets at the end of the day

What could you offer for the friendships I've made

All the love and the joy, all the heartache and pain.

A face known to strangers? A name written in lights?

A voice without song? A heart without blight?

No...

What would I trade for the life that I've led?

Full of laughter and loss, of wonder and dread

A spirit void of sorrow? A world left unexplored?

A pristine cadaver? a soul left unscarred?

Thank you but no.

No regrets, no regrets, at the end of the line

I'll never see it all, but God knows I'll have tried

Though all I have are memories, they're all that's truly mine

No regrets, no regrets at the end of the line.

No regrets, no regrets at the end of the day

I've done what I've done, and I've paid what I've paid

And I'd not change a thing if truth be told

No regrets, no regrets at the end of the road
