Ninety nine point nine

Thank you Lord
Thank you my friend
For blessing me
With your love again

Sometimes my mind drifts to way back when
It happens every now and then (yes it does)
To a time and love I so foolishly spent
Without a clue as to where it went (Where did it go?)

My space was my own
Without any rent
Those were the days
When I was One Hundred Per Cent

No promises made
No questions asked
But deep down inside
I knew it wouldn't last

My future looked bright
My fortune was cast
But somehow my future
Became my past (Oh Lord how did it happen so fast?)

The dreams I had I tried to hang onto
With no way of knowing
Who they would belong to

You know, I never gave up
I kept right on trying
I laughed it off
Instead of crying

I stood up straight
And aged like fine wine
And accepted the fact
I'm now ninety nine point nine

Thank you Lord thank you
For being my friend
And getting me off the hook again
Life is good life is fine
I'm happy just being
Ninety nine point nine

Oh yes I'm happy
being ninety nine point nine.
