Well, the first thing I recall was the rain upon my window
And the tricks the light would play as I watched the water run
Things were easier that day, but maybe forever after
In the spring when all my world was filled with the things I hadn't done
All the things I hadn't done
I was new and wild and green in those budding days of April
I was caught up in the dream of the journey just begun
Oh, beneath the endless sky, the highway was to begun
With the promise of adventure and of stories yet unsung
And of stories yet unsung
And the dreams that fill a lifetime are the treasures to be saved
Thus precious time to spare between the cradle and the grave
Now I'm standing in the rain in the leaves of late September
The season's flying past me now and winter's coming on
And I feel a stab of pain and regret when I remember
All the dreams that I had wished for and the things I haven't done
All the things I haven't done
And every drop of rain is like the sound of gentle laughter
For the dreams that I had wished for and the things I haven't done
All the things I haven't done
