Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things
Come back to you
Sing with me

Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Well, sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear

Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream Yourself A Dream Come True
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream Until Your Dream Comes True
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Ahh
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

    They wrote it when they were young, but when you're on drugs all the time, you have lines on your FACE. Wrinkles. It was written from the prospective of an older man. When you're 24, you think you're pretty old. You don't realize those wrinkles are getting much deeper.Maryann's description matches the description of Steven Tyler's - who wrote it.

    That's sad. Just as alcoholics often are, your ex had a big ego, but little self-esteem. Sounds like an oxymoron, but actually, it's common among alcoholics.Sorry he cheated on you. Happy you found a better life.Alcoholism and addiction is a disorder that also makes the people who love you sick.
