The Final Round

(Steven Soucy)

The Final Round is a song about getting older, and not being what you once were. And trying to keep that sharp edge even though it is fading away.

Verse 1

Like the final sunshine rays cling to the end of day
My mind thinks of better days as the memories fade away
Like the tire worn thin from treading all these many miles
My eyes scan the photographs remembering laughter, tears and smiles

Chorus

The boxer fades, his heart remains
In the thick of the final round
As my life turns its last page
And expires with hardly a sound

Verse 2 

Like the embers turn to grey in the heat of the fireplace
My body feels the years finishing this long and lonely race
Like the singer on the stage performing for the final time
My end seems close now and dying is not such a crime

Bridge
Reflecting now
It seems somehow
I came out of this shell
I've had my time
I only hope
That I've truly lived it well

Chorus

The boxer fades, his heart remains
In the thick if the final round
As my life turns its last page
And expires with hardly a sound
