lyrics

Summer's on the way out
And the leaves are turning
Up on the mountain
The fires are burning

So many times this year
I looked up in surprise
Where did the days go?
Where are the nights?

All I know
I've got the keys to the kingdom

When the breeze is blowing
And the sun shines so bright
Get me through the days
And all along the way, see the starry night

As the time speeds up year after year
Ain't no use in complaining

I got the keys to the kingdom
Right here

These feet get tired of walking
And these arms get tired of flapping every day
And I look up to the sky
And I see the birds fly away

And I think, "how many times
would I have loved to live up there anyway?"

That's okay...
I've got the keys to the kingdom right here

The day will come
when they take these feathers off me
and lay them aside
And the night will come when there's no more candle
by the bedside

And the breeze will keep blowing
And the sun will keep shining every day

And you'll have the keys to the kingdom
Right here
You've got the keys to the kingdom
Right here
You are the keys to the kingdom
