Life seems short
When you get here
With what you missed
Seeming so clear
When growing old
Overcomes you
Your zest for life
Is in the rear view
CHORUS….
The chance will never come again
Age will never be your friend
As you look calmly towards the end
In the age of the aged……
So much time
To get it right
But nothing came
Without a fight
Now you work
At holding back
Those against you
Who attack
You wake up
And it’s no more
With nothing left
To restore
What was always
Part of you
Suddenly
You can’t do
CHORUS
Now your body
Can’t betray
Aches and pains
That come your way
But your mind
Is ever strong
As you sing
Your old new song
CHORUS
How does it feel
When your heart is torn
And you can’t reveal
Or display your scorn
***********************
You love us both
In the way you can
But you know the truth
And have no real plan
*********************
Never knew that love could last
Traveling through my messed up past
Now I know how it can be
Living through the fantasy
*************************
Can you put it all away
Have the strength to face each day
Find a purpose in your way
And a reason you must stay
Nothing hurts
Like a love that ends
And you’re all alone
Without friends
**********************
Questioning your life
Without her there
Fighting the pull
Of immense despair
***********************
Why are the nights so lonely
Why are the days filled with tears
Thinking of her only
While confronting all my fears
Will it ever get better
Can I find the peace I seek
Knowing it didn’t upset her
Leaving me so weak
***********************
I know I will recover
From all the pain I feel
While needing to discover
What it takes to make me heal
