Jim Croce

Yeah, Ive had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the places Ive been
The changes that Ive left behind
I just look at myself to find
Ive learned the hard way every time
Cause Ive had my share of good intentions
And Ive made my share of mistakes
And Ive learned at times its best to bend
Cause if you dont well those are the breaks
Should have listened to all the things I was told
But I was young and too proud at the time
Now I look at myself to find
I learn the hard way evry time
But in looking back at the lessons Ive learned
And the mountains I wanted to climb
I just look at myself to find
Ive learned the hard way evry time
Cause Ive had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the faces Ive been
I would sure be the first one to say
When I look at myself today
Wouldnta done it any other way
