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
CHORUS
You wake up
And it’s no more
With nothing left
To restore
What always was
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
