     - find yourself struggling for words?
     - remain speechless?
     - find it hard to put your ideas across?
Listen to the song. In what situation hasn’t the singer been able to find the words he needed.
 
Part 1: Listen to the first part of the song and type the missing words.

All of my life, I've been

For the    to say how I feel

I'd spend my   thinking too much

And leave too little to say what I

I've tried to   the best I can

All of my life

A ll of my life, I've been   sorry

For the things I know I should have

All the things I   have said come back to me

Sometimes I   that it had just begun

Seems I'm always that little too

CHORUS
Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Put up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, ‘cause I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember, too much I need to say
All of my life

 
Part 2: Listen to the second part of the song and select the words you hear.
All of my life, I've been

But it's hard to find the

Just   past the goal in front of me

While what's important just slips

And it doesn't come back but I'll looking

All of my life

CHORUS
 
Part 3: Listen to the last part of the song and order these lines.


  I didn't spend the time I should
  Playing records upstairs, while he watched TV
  All of my life, there have been regrets
  It's a memory I will live with all of my life
  That I didn't do all I could
