Getting Older
Well they say there's a black hole waiting
On the other side when we close our eyes
But I'm not sure how much I can believe.
And though pictures fill the room of family
I get told that I know
In my head I still feel alone.
And I used to give my seat to the elderly
Never expecting one day that would be me.
Oh I guess I'm getting older
Faster than I care to believe
And I guess I'm getting colder
I can feel that twinkle in my eye.
And I guess I'm getting older
Faster than I care to admit
And I guess I'm getting colder
And the dreams no longer stick with me
Mmm.
(Instrumental)
Woke up with news today
My oldest friend had just passed away
When I count the years I get 63
And though a lifetime's been and gone
I spent my days just seeing what's wrong
I guess age has caught up with me.
And I sit and ponder those people I have met
Never expecting one day I'd fill myself
With hints of regret.
Oh I guess I'm getting older
Faster than I care to believe
And I guess I'm getting colder
I can feel that twinkle in my eye
And I guess I'm getting older
Faster than I care to admit
And I guess I'm getting colder
And the dreams no longer stick with me.
Take me back to when I was a young man
Take me back to when I first saw her
Take me back to when I made dreams and memories
Take me back to when I was a young man
Oh I guess I'm getting older
Faster than I care to admit
And I guess I'm getting colder
I can feel that twinkle in my eye
And I guess I'm getting colder
Faster than I care to admit
And I guess I'm getting older
And the dreams no longer stick with me
Mmm, My dreams no longer stick with me
Mmm.
