Son:
My father said "son, you are much older now
Times come when I think it's too late
The shoes that I wore have long since walked away
I hope that you'll learn from all of my past mistakes"

"And keep your worries behind you"

Watching the sand pass through an hourglass
Painting the blue in the skies
"Dream away" I hear him say

Father:
But keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you

Lay my slippers by the fireside
Making this our home as long as we're together
Remember the guiding lines that I taught you now

And keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you

Son, since you are older now
It's not too late to begin
There's no doubt about your life
(There's no doubt about your life)
There's no doubt about your life
Father and son:
Just keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you

Son:
I see all of my years they are before me
I know it's not too late now let's begin
