Sit right down beside me
I've something inside me
I want you to know
Yes, it's been a long time
Since we've talked, and though
I'm feelin' good, even so
You and I are both poor
And I'm reasonably sure
We're both aging
So let's start looking forward
It's upward and onward
For you and for me
What you do is what you see
What you do is what you see
Yes, there's no way to follow
Completely, it's hollow
And empty
And the sooner you see that
The sooner you'll be
What you wanted to be
You and I are both strong
And there's nothing as wrong
As just sleepin'
So let's start looking forward
It's upward and onward
For you and for me
What you do is what you see
What you do is what you see
Well, we both had our ways
Of improving our days
We climb higher and higher
And higher and higher
If only believing
The heartache we're leavin'
Were higher and higher
And higher and higher
(Hmmm-mmm)
