Shameless Pop Song

On the radio today
They played a shameless pop song
I rolled the windows down
I had to sing along
The four saddest words I heard are
“what might have been”
I try not to think about it,
but it comes back again
Hello to you old friend . . .

And I wonder when all is said and done
Is it over or just another setting sun?
And I wonder what tomorrow has to bring
Is it over or will it change everything?

I’ve lived enough to know
that fear and doubt have no soul
Not even flesh and bones,
so how do they take control?
Isn’t “what’s yet to be”
stronger than “what might have been”?
I’ll try to remember that
the next time you come back again
Goodbye for now old friend . . .
And I wonder when all is said and done

Is it over or just another setting sun?
And I wonder what tomorrow has to bring
Is it over or will it change everything?

There’s a cause and effect
to everything we do
You make your choices
and your choices make you
What you’re looking for
might not be what you find
You can change your life
if you can change your mind

And I wonder when all is said and done
Is it over- Hey, it’s another rising sun
And what tomorrow has to bring
I know, I know, will change everything
