When I was a boy, all the books I read   I followed like a blind man   To heed the words my father said   Those golden summers faded into night   Words become a dream   The echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding      May God bless you   Keep you safe from harm   I will stand by you always   Time and motion   Hands touch lips find a   Way to Heaven on high      Watch the children play, child becomes a man   And all the tangled webs we weave   You swear it as you live and breathe   We stay together death until you part   Winner takes the prize   The future's at your fingertips right before your eyes      No more sorrows   Smoke and mirrors   No more nights with no end   I really learned a lot   I see my tomorrows   Smoke and mirrors      And nothing from nothing   And ashes to ashes they say   All the more that you reach out   The more that it runs away      Smoke and mirrors   Smoke and mirrors      No more sorrows   Smoke and mirrors   No more nights with no end   I really learned a lot   I see my tomorrows   Smoke and mirrors      No more goodbyes   That?s all I ever got   No lies, you find your way there   Smoke and mirrors   Show me what she?s got, smoke and mirrors   Heaven on high      May God bless you   Keep you safe from all harm   I stand by you always   Time and motion   Smoke and mirrors   Hands touch, lips find a way to   That?s all I ever got   Heaven on high   Smoke and mirrors      No more sorrows   I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors   No more nights with no end   Show me what she?s got, smoke and mirrors   I rise or I fall      No more goodbyes   She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors   No lies, you find a way there   Heaven on high
