"Lifetime Achievement" lyrics
"Lifetime Achievement"
I have lived a lifetime
And it's hard to be believed
I'm near the end, time's almost up
So what have I achieved?
I have done and won some things
Awards, I have a few
But the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to win you
Trophies on my mantelpiece
Citations on my wall
Accolades and autographs, yes
I guess I've got them all
But all these honors don't add up
To all that much, it's true
That the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to win you
Gold records and blue ribbons
Bronze statuettes and plaques
We all want to be winners
Admit it, face the facts
But I couldn't win what I craved the most
That's the thing we all dream of
It's the loving cup we long for
With our names engraved in love
As for my life achievement
It's just a hill of beans
In the end what's justified
Is not what it all means
I have done and won some things
But I lost myself, who knew?
That the biggest prize, the great surprise
Is I managed to find you
Who needs cash and prizes?
What I achieved is you

Fred Neil - "The Dolphins" This old world may never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searchin'
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me...
