Lyrics of Famous Last Words by Billy Joel
verse
Sitting here in Avalon
Looking at the pouring rain
The summertime has come and gone
And everybody's home again
pre-chorus
Closing down for the season
I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake
And it's sweet after all these years
chorus
These are the last words I have to say
That's why it took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life
verse
Comfort in my coffee cup
The apples in the early fall
They're pulling all the moorings up
And gathering at the legion hall
pre-chorus
Swept away all the streamers after the labor day parade
There's nothing left for a dreamer, now
Only one final serenade
chorus
And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life
bridge
And it's so clear standing here where I am
Ain't that what justice is for?
And frankly my dear, I don't give a damn anymore
bridge
Hey, yeah
pre-chorus
Stack the chairs on the tabletops
Hang the sheets on the chandeliers
It slows down but it never stops
Ain't it sweet after all these years?
chorus
And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye, hey oh oh
But now it's time to put this book away
Then that's the story of my life
Hey, oh, oh, oh
chorus
These are the last words I have to say
That's why it took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
Ain't that the story of my life?
Hey, oh, oh, oh
chorus
These are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
Ain't that the story of my life?
Writer(s): Billy Joel
