All my best days are behind me now
Photographs tell of my wedding vows
And if you want heroes then I’d sail up to the stars
For all I got beneath my skin are tears and scars
I’ve walked in these shoes ten thousand miles
Been through all sorts of belated trials
So if you want heroes then I’ll tell you where to go
I’ll sell you a map to thank the faces that you know
Oh, but for now I’ll just be at this all-night show
Oh, yes tonight, I’ll spend my lonely dollar slow
Yes, I’ve loved and lost and loved again
Happy ever after’s never been
And if you want love then I suggest that you not wait
‘Cause I will know not what I’ve waited at heaven’s gate
All my best days are behind me now
Still I find a way to live somehow
