The Truth by Angela Lansbury

The Truth

by Angela Lansbury

Now is the time

To tell the truth

To all my fans

And dearest friends

You see your life

Much more clearly

You join the dots

As your life ends

Dreams take me back

To my childhood

When I was small

I ould not see

Couldn’t answer

When they asked me

When you’re adult

What will you be?

I was silent

I wish I’d known

All I needed

A happy home

I left my home

I grew and grew

I searched the world

Stiil never knew

My parents died

Left me alone

Now all I want

Is home sweet home

Now is the time

To tell the truth

To all my fans

And dearest friends

All I need is

A table and chair

A bed, smart head 

And friends who care

I am so glad

When we all meet

That’s all I need

Then life is sweet

There are true friends

I can’t forget

Good souls like you

I’ve not yet met.
