Moments

I was coming to the end of a long, long walk

When a man crawled out of a cardboard box

Under the E. Street Bridge, followed me on to it

I went out halfway across

With that homeless shadow tagging along

So I dug for some change, wouldn't need it anyway

He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed

He said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”

I've had my moments, days in the sun

Moments, I was second to none

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

Like that plane ride, coming home from the war

That summer my son was born

And memories like a coat so warm, a cold wind can't get through

Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments

Well, I stood there tryin' to find my nerve

Wondering if a single soul on Earth

Would care at all, miss me when I'm gone

That old man just kept hanging around

Lookin' at me, lookin' down

I think he recognized that look in my eyes

Standing with him there I felt ashamed

I said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”

I've had my moments, days in the sun

Moments, I was second to none

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

Like the day I walked away from the wine

For a woman who became my wife

And a love that, when it was right could always see me through

Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight

That old man tells his story one more time, he says

“I've had my moments, days in the sun

Moments I was second to none

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do”

“Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge

When a young man almost ended it

I was right there, wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through”

“Lookin' at me now you might not know it

Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments

I've had my moments, I've had my moments, I've had my moments”
