Billy Joel Lyrics

Sitting here in Avalon
looking at the pouring rain
summer time has come and gone
and everyone is home again
closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake
and its sweet after all these years

These are the last words I have to say
thats why it took so long to write
there will be other words some other day
but thats the story of my life

Comfort in my coffee cup
apples in the early fall
their pulling all the mourings up
and gathering at the leaging hall
swept away all the streamers after the labor day parade
theres nothign left for a dreamer now
only one final seranade

and these are the last words I have to say
before another age goes by
with all those other songs I have to play
but thats the story of my life

and its so clear standing here where i am
aint that what justice is for
frankly my dear I don't give a damn
anymore

heyyyyyyy

Stacked all the chairs on the table tops
hanged the sheets on the chanadleers
the stores down, but it never stops
aint it sweet after all these years
and these are the last words I have to say
iTs always hard to say goodbye

and now it time to put this book away
then thats the story of my life
these are the last words I have to say
thats why it took so long to write
there will be other words some other day
aint that the story of my life

ohhh
these are the last words I have to say
before another age goes by
with all those other songs i have to play
yea thats the story of my life...
