archie roach - summer of my life (30th anniversary edition) lyrics

[verse 1]
she come here every day
this little lady with hair of gray
and she just smiles and shuffles on her way
through these hospital corridors
she walks along these lonely floors
to a bed where an old man used to lay
and an old man used to say

[chorus]
i’m in the summer of my life
i’ve seen the good times, i’ve seen the strife
i’ve just been under the surgeon’s knife
but please don’t cry, my darling wife

[verse 2]
he came herе a year ago
and the doctors didn’t know
if the timе for him to go was near
but when it came and he went to sleep
she prayed the lord his soul to keep
and as she closed her eyes to weep
it seemed that she could hear

[chorus]
i’m in the summer of my life
i’ve seen the good times, i’ve seen the strife
i’ve just been under the surgeon’s knife
but please don’t cry, my darling wife
[verse 3]
she’ll sit there for many hours
and repeat her marriage vows
and places there the sweetest flowers in bloom
she sits by that empty bed
her weary eyes all wet and red
but the words that he once said
still echo through that room

[chorus]
i’m in the summer of my life
i’ve seen the good times, i’ve seen the strife
i’ve just been under the surgeon’s knife
but please don’t cry, my darling wife
’cause you and i, we’ve had some fun
and our love has touched everyone
and in the light of the moon and sun
you and i have been as one
