I'll Be Back - The Who

The time has come

For us to see

If you’ll take me once again

But darlin' I’ll be back

I’ll be reborn

I know I’ll always want to be your friend

This life was like climbing

So glad I put the time in

I’ve got so used to loving you

In this life, you sure blessed me

Why would I want to get free?

I’ve been so happy loving you

I’ve lived too long

Lost so much time

I must accept I might be finally dying, yeah

What will survive

Is my consciousness

(It's what I’d guess)

And when I’m alive again you’ll be my happiness

(Yes, yes, yes)

Next life I will be climbing again

So glad I put the time in, and then

I’ll remember how I once loved only you

In this life, you sure blessed me

I would want that again, you see

To be happy again by loving you

I was young, rigged guitar

Long hair, big car

No more «big star»

Just be happy and go far

Not too far

Love my town, love the boys

Down the Goldhawk Bar

Parkas and boxing boots

Faces were doing toots

We had no cash for that

Just had some hash for that

Lost my virginity

Kate took the piss out of me

Didn’t care much who doubted me

Then I found dignity with you

This life was like climbing

I’m so glad I put the time in

I got so used to loving you

In this life, you sure blessed me

Why would I want to get free?

I’ve been so happy loving you

Do you believe in life after this?

What science decries as only a myth

We hang on to dreams like pagans

From some ancient days

Then we get on and live out our life

Till we’re looking right into the light

We’ll only know for sure

When we’re lost in the haze

The time has come

For us to see

If you’ll take me once again

But darling, I’ll be back

I’ll be reborn

And I know I’ll always want to be your friend

I’ll always want to be your friend
