I Am

Bobby Darin

If I Were a Carpenter

I Am

I have left the seed of life

From South Hampton to Singapore

And if tomorrow morning comes

I guess Iââ‚¬â„¢ll leave some more.

Iââ‚¬â„¢m a captain without an ocean

And a lover without emotion

And a monk free of devotion

But I am, most of all, I am.

I have worn the countryââ‚¬â„¢s colors

In a thousand different ways

I have won the game of life

Upon the table which it plays.

Iââ‚¬â„¢m a sun without a setting

And a tear without regretting

Iââ‚¬â„¢m a mind full of forgetting

But I am, most of all, I am.

Forgive me while I kiss away

This thought thatââ‚¬â„¢s in my head

But itââ‚¬â„¢s the only proof I have

That this old man ainââ‚¬â„¢t dead.

Iââ‚¬â„¢m a robin without its wings

And a song nobody sings

To the ivy no one clings

But I am, most of all, I am.

Yes I am, most of all, I am.
