Standing at the kitchen window
All by himself at last
His mind is far away
Somewhere in his past
He sees a young man laughing
Unconcerned, ready for anything
With the whole world as his kingdom
He was sure to be the king
But life sometimes has other plans
And dreams do not come true
Expectations are not fulfilled
Successes are far apart and few
We start to wonder if we were wrong
If we should have taken another way
Maybe should have changed something
But, be that as it may
Life has a life all of its own
We just take whatever it is we get
Are glad for the good times we have
And look back without regret
