Time capsule
A receptacle containing documents
That has all my life history
From the time that I was born to the time I was an adult
There is a time capsule in my life
There are times that my needs have to be meet
There is a time capsule
That tells me
When the day is coming
And it is ending
My life must improve
I am a simple kind of man
You don't know the tender side of me
I have a soft heart
I have the gentle touch
All that documents I kept
Don't you know that they are 42 years old?
And I kept all this time
They are interesting to me
All the facts are wrtiten in there
Time capsule
Tells me the time that I must go to sleep
I keep myself clean
I look after myself well
This I can give credit for
Don't you agree with me?
I got to look on the bright side of life
The other side of the grass always looks greener
The way I make my bed that is the way I sleep on it
Look into my eyes and I will tell you who your friends are
Time capsule
