I Wouldn't Have Wished It Any Other Way Lyrics

Some stories we tell to others

Some stories we tell to ourselves

Neither really believes them

They're like old souvenirs

On a dusty shelf

But the truth is in there somewhere

Just waiting to be found

Some stories are best left

Until you're not around

Why does just being a little bad

Have to be left a lot behind

That's the price the passing years do take

Now the best of it is what we must make

And we're not as young as we were

And with any luck, not as old as we'll be

You see these words aren't wise

There just as true as they can be

Things aren't always what they seem

Sometimes it's more like an endless dream

As you have yourself, row, row, row your boat

Oh so gently, down that stream

And in the current we're all caught

Nobody does get away

But we still have this moment

And we still have this day

The sands seem to have shifted

But the sun's still burning bright

And when I look up at the moon

I wonder where we are this night

What was our true calling

We might find it yet some day

But this is how we've lived our lives

And I wouldn't wished it

Any other way

Things aren't always what they seem

Sometimes it's more like an endless dream

As you have yourself, row, row, row your boat

Oh so gently, down that stream

And in the current we're all caught

Nobody does get away

But we still have this moment

And we still have this day

What was our true calling

We might find it yet some day

But this is how we've lived our lives

And I wouldn't wished it

Any other way

No I would not have wished it

Any other way
