I'm not a perfect man Not even a good man But I'm not the sum of my mistakes Or the sum of all the good things I have done The truth lies somewhere between the two But I am a man who has been loved well Both by God and by his family And I'm a grateful man So friends Walk slow Go easy And love well Of all the money that I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I ever did Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Goodnight and joy be with you all Of all the comrades that I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that I had They'd wish me one more day to stay SongtexteBut since it fell into my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be with you all I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be with you all Aus Songtexte Mania
