[00:17.10]Howard, the strangest things
[00:23.51]Have happened lately when I
[00:29.72]Take a good swing
[00:32.72]And all my dreams
[00:35.90]They pivot and slip.
[00:38.79]I drop my fists
[00:42.56]And they’re back, laughing.
[00:45.56]Howard, my intentions
[00:50.84]Become not to lose what I’ve won.
[00:56.41]Ambition has given way
[01:00.57]To desperation and I,
[01:06.81]I’ve lost the fight from my eyes.
[01:12.62]Boxing’s been good to me, Howard.
[01:20.74]Now I’m told,
[01:23.74]”You’re growing old.”
[01:26.51]The whole time we knew
[01:29.05]A couple of years I’d be through.
[01:35.08]Has boxing been good to you?
[01:58.73]Howard, now I confess
[02:06.86]I’m scared and lonely and tired.
[02:13.25]Everyone says I’m made of clay,
[02:18.59]That I’ve had my day,
[02:23.63]That I’m not cut out for this.
[02:26.67]I just know what to say.
[02:30.57]And I say,
[02:31.85]Boxing’s been good to me, Howard.
[02:37.56]Now I’m told,
[02:40.10]”You’re growing old.”
[02:43.17]The whole time we knew
[02:46.13]A couple of years I’d be through.
[02:52.20]Has boxing been good to you?
[02:56.57]Well, sometimes I punch myself
[03:03.35]Hard as I can.
[03:06.32]Yelling, “nobody cares!”
[03:08.70]Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am,
[03:17.45]Howard.
[03:24.01]Boxing’s been good to me, Howard.
[03:31.17]Now I’m told,
[03:34.31]”You’re growing old.”
[03:37.36]The whole time we knew
[03:39.88]A couple of years I’d be through.
[03:47.59]Has boxing been good,
[03:51.57]Has boxing been good,
[03:56.40]Has boxing been good?
