The Moment en Malvina Reynolds

My whole life passed before me the moment that I died,
The times that I was sober, the times that I was fried,
The times I hit my finger when hammering a nail,
The times I went to parties,
The times I went to jail.

My whole life passed before me the moment that I died,
The times that I fell out of bed on the weather side,
My whole long life of wonder, of happiness and pain,
And it was such an awful mess,
I'll never die again.
