Fifties Today
It's funny how I remember dancing
To She Loves You when I was five
Grandma sitting on her couch
About to cry
She must've been around fifty
And me afraid she'd die
Afraid she'd die
She'd look at me and with a softer voice she'd say
Don't hurry boy for you'll get old some day
Old so
I never really understood the meaning
Of time and existence
I think I was fifteen when I started all this
Faith resistance
I rushed to live
And I rushed to play
Rushed to play
I traveled far from all I had known
Until then
I questioned reason and I questioned love
And I questioned when
But it felt like my twenties
Just came and went
Came and went
Three decades now married with chidlren
And I cherished it all
Well, well, well
Tried my best to make things right
I know that only time will tell
But as for my life
I just couldn't wait
No, I Just couldn't wait
I never ever really thought
I would live to be forty
I have watched my children dance
To my Beatles' inventory
But I was still rushing to get to
Where I was going
Where I was going
So I don't intend to rush
Anywhere today
I now look at them and
With a softer voice I say
Don't hurry for you
Will get old some day
Old some day
I have loved and I have been
But now I tend to go slower
I have managed to live through the 80s
Y2K and even covid
I think I'm ready
For a brand new day
Brand new day
It's funny how I remember dancing
To She Loves You when I was five
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Grandma sitting on her couch
About to cry
She must've been around fifty
And me afraid she'd die
Afraid she'd die
She'd look at me and with a softer voice she'd say
Don't hurry boy for you'll get old some day
I said I don't intend to rush today
I have time to tell my story
I have watched my grandbabies dance
To my Elvis' inventory
What was once a foreing land
It's now familiar territory
This is my glory
Now I look at them and with a softer voice I say
Don't hurry kids for you'll get old some day
I'm in my fifties today
What can I say?
Fifties today
Today!
I'm standing here wondering how many more years I'm going to have
What a wonderful life this has been!
Today!
To She Loves You when I was five
Grandma sitting on her couch
About to cry
She must've been around fifty
And me afraid she'd die
Afraid she'd die
She'd look at me and with a softer voice she'd say
Don't hurry boy for you'll get old some day
Old so
