lyrics

you're getting older
everything's a little slow
your fingers shake and the
morning makes you feel so low
you're getting older
you feel it when you bend your knees
they creak and crack and your
aching back gives you no relief

your body's breaking down and now
you're running out of time
it's hard to find the strength to persevere
the candle's burning faster and
the world has passed you by
don't you know it's all downhill from here?

you're getting older
you thought you would have been prepared
but the kids have changed and their
thoughts so strange leave you lost and scared
you're getting older
and don't it make you oh so mad
it's finally clear after all these years
that the world's gone bad

the things that you remember
from a life so long ago
are dust and picture frames upon the wall
the anger and confusion
at this unfamiliar world
are easily explained 'cause after all
you're getting older

I'm getting older
I laugh it off and play it cool
the sands of time and the strawberry wine
can be so cruel
but in the end dear
I maintain a rosy view
'cause I'm so glad at the luck I had
to get old with you

the things that you remember
from a life so long ago
are dust and picture frames upon the wall
the anger and confusion
at this unfamiliar world
are easily explained 'cause after all
you're getting older
you're getting older
