Song Lyrics |
|
|
I don't wanna grow old
I don't wanna turn wrinkly and grey
Even if it's true what they say
That I'll look more distinguished that way
I don't wanna grow old
But that's what happens I'm told
If growing old is what I must do
Well, I wanna grow old with you
I don't wanna be wise
I don't wanna unravel life's mysteries
Don't wanna be amazed
To see how quickly a lifetime flees
I don't wanna grow old
But it's bound to happen, I'm told
If I must become a sage of retirement age
Well, let me grow old with you
I don't wanna grow old
I guess nobody do
But it will be much easier
If I can grow old with you
Well, it doesn't seem fair
I know you'll agree
That there is nothing sure in life
But a lifetime guarantee..
That we're gonna get older
We've got nothing to fear
It's a natural process
It's a pain in the rear
I don't wanna grow old
But it's irreversible as can be
My only consolation for this degeneration
Is if you will grow old with me
I don't wanna grow old
I already forget too many things
Regret too many things
I've learned to accept too many things
I don't wanna grow old
But it might be okay
If you can still look at me that way
Oh, let me grow old with you

Song Notes |
|
| I think this song pretty well explains itself. I consider it only small recompense for the aches and pains of middle age. I like the way it makes me sound like a really deep thinker when I really just wrote it off the top of my head. Some people catch fish, some people catch songs. It was a nice sunny day when I caught this one. |
