The Times That I Had

I cannot say that my life's been hard.
Although I do have my share of scars.
Each has a story, some funny and some sad.
All are reminders of the times I had.

Good times and bad times blended up so well.
So close to heaven, closer still to hell.
I've learned to laugh through the good and the bad.
And just enjoy the times that I had.

Didn't lack a thing when I was a child.
Like most I know, I went a little wild.
Wish I had thought to write it all down on a pad.
To help me remember all the times that I had

Good times and bad times blended up so well.
So close to heaven, closer still to hell.
I've learned to laugh through the good and the bad.
And just enjoy the times that I had.

Now I am older, I should be slowing down.
I keep on smiling, I try never to frown.
I'm on life's back nine, but I just can't get mad.
Each day's an adventure in the times that I had.

Good times and bad times blended up so well.
So close to heaven, closer still to hell.
I've learned to laugh through the good and the bad.
And just enjoy the times that I had.
