Billy Joel Famous Last Words Lyrics

Famous Last Words Lyrics

Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain

Summertime has come and
gone and everybody's home again

Closing down for the season, I found the
last of the souvenirs

I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet
after all these years



These are the last words I have to
say

That's why this took so long to write

There will be other words
some other day

But that's the story of my life



There's comfot in
my coffee cup and apples in the early fall

They're pulling all the moorings
up and gathering at the Legion Hall

They swept away all the streamers after
the Labor Day parade

Nothing left for a dream now, only one final
serenade



And these are the last words I have to say

Before another
age goes by

With all those other songs I'll have to play

But that's the
story of my life



And it's so clear standing here where I am

Ain't
that what justice is for?

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
anymore



Stack the chairs on the table tops

Hang the sheets on the
chandeliers

It slows down but it never stops

Ain't it sweet after all
these years



And these are the last words I have to say

It's always
hard to say goodbye

But now it's time to put this book away

Ain't that
the story of my life
