Circle left
Been down the road to work and back
Been in what I thought was love a few times
Men star right, one time and go
Left allemande, weave the ring
These days broccoli don't taste so bad
And neither does swallowing my pride
Promenade
Every once in a while I stop and ask
Where've I've been all my life

Heads (Sides) square thru four hands and go
You make a right hand star
Heads (Sides) star left one time and then
Do the right & left thru
You swing thru and then, well now you swing thru again
You swing your corner girl, promenade
And I'm agreeing more and more with my old man
Where've I've been all my life

Sides face grand square
Some years are clear and some a little blurry
Man, how they fly by
Mom and Dad got old in a hurry
Where've I've been all my life
Circle left
Been learning that forgiveness is as much for myself
As it is for the other guy
Allemande and promenade
I read the Good Book these days and believe it
Where have I been all my life

Sides face grand square
Some years are clear and some a little blurry
Man, how they fly by
Mom and Dad sure got old in a hurry
Where've I've been all my life
Circle left
I heard "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
It brought a tear to my eyes
Allemande and promenade
After all these years I finally get that song
Where have I been all my life
