Fitting Finales-The Title Song

Fitting Finales
(Smith)

I enjoyed the times we spend together
Jamming with friends in my endeavors
 I can't promise when we'll do it again
But for now enjoy the moment while we can

What have I got if it wasn't for you
Where would I be if it wasn't for you
Standing on the stage with our weapons at hand
Going full circle, the return of the band

Now I don't know how much time I got yet
Before I go riding into the sunset
As I return back to the basement
And look outside, satisfied with our accomplishments

What have I got if it wasn't for you
Where would I be if it wasn't for you
Standing on the stage with our weapons at hand
Coming full circle, the return of the band

I love you friends with all of my heart
For every ending there's a new start
A fitting finale for those who see
And what is done it will always, it'll always be

What have I got if it wasn't for you
Where would I be if it wasn't for you
Standing on the stage with our weapons at hand
Coming full circle, the return of the band

Of course the centerpiece of Fitting Finales the album is this last song which I went home and wrote after my best friend Russ came on stage to jam with me for the first time in 30 years, not counting failed band efforts in between, but it was the summary of how I was feeling, not only for this historical reunion but rather getting back on the playing field.  And I still have got it, I have approached by three different bands.  The title actually goes way back to 1973 on a forgotten album I did on cassette, but while the title remains, the lyrics are up to date.  Being the old warhorse that I am, in the back of my mind that the stage frights of years ago might return but in all fairness I have no regrets of playing this sort of music over the years.  The pay may have been lousy but the music was pretty good.
