about

The Rest Of Our Lives
Words and music by Elwood Donnelly, ©2022
dedicated to Nina Dodd

lyrics

What will you do with the rest of your life?
I asked her mother and I asked my wife
The first one smiled and the second one said,
“Let’s talk about this when we’re in bed.”

All these days we’ve had time to blink
Months gone by, we’ve made time to think
What to do with the rest of our lives?

My mother-in-law just wants to write
Read some books and sleep at night
And Aubrey’d like to have some rest
Regard the things for which she’s blessed

Like grow some flowers, plant some more next year
Sing some songs, hold her husband near
What we’ll do with the rest of our lives.

Other ones have tried to lead the way
Only you have words that can convey my view
Now, I’ll turn that love on you
Everyday, every way I can
That’s what I’ll do with the rest of my life.

Instrumental

Other ones have tried to lead the way
Only you have words that can convey my view
Now, I’ll turn that love on you
Everyday, every way I can
That’s what I’ll do with the rest of my life.
What we’ll do with the rest of our lives.
What to do with the rest of our lives
