I was comin' 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 taggin along so i dug for some change wouldn't need it anyway He took it looking just a bit ashamed he said you know i havent 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 tought i couldn't do Like that plane ride coming home frome the war That summer my son was born Memories like a coat so warm the cold wind can't get through Looking at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
well i stood there tryin to find my nerve wandering if a single soul on earth would care at all miss me when i'm gone that old man just kept hangin 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 looking at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
I know somewhere around a trash can fire tonight that old man tells his story one more time he says
I've had moment 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 looking at me now you might not know it oh looking at me now you might not it I've had my moments.
