lyrics

(Verse1) My eyesight’s not quite as sharp, and my hearing’s going fast.
I fall asleep before dark, thinking every breath might be my last.
My energy’s not nearly what it used to be. We’re all running out of time, but I never thought that would happen to me. The years are flying by, and tomorrow seems like yesterday. One minute you’re full of life, and the next you’re in the grave.
(Chorus) ‘Cause you’re never too young, to start feeling old.
You’re never too young, to start feeling old.
(Verse2) I noticed one or two changes by the time I turned thirty-five.
A late night out on the town left me feeling more dead than alive.
I’ve realized with age you need to get more rest,
‘cause by the time I hit forty-five I wasn’t looking quite my best.
I came late to discover, we’re not immortal afterall.
The springtime of my youth never prepared me for the fall.
(bridge) Talk about a cruel twist of fate, while we make big plans and celebrate. But longevity’s not ours to choose, even life’s big winners eventually lose…
(verse3) I’ll never say it out loud, but getting old is so unfair.
Those kind of thoughts aren’t allowed, and just remind me of my thinning hair. But there’s a lesson here once you reach this stage. A wasted youth is a shame, better not make that mistake in your old age. The years are flying by, and tomorrow seems like yesterday. One minute you’re full of life, and the next you’re in the grave.
