Old Lyrics

He said you're a young man

I was a young man just like you

But years have passed now

I've got some age on you

You'll learn the hard way

That you just don't know it all

The older you get

The harder that you'll fall

You're so young but I must say

Growing old ain't that fun

Each day is a grain of sand

Through your calloused hands Grandson

And when you finally reach the end

And it's time to say goodbye

You'll realize

Growing old's not fun till you've grown old

And look back on your life

I said you're an old man

I'm still wet behind my ears

But I'm getting older

The last decade passed like a year

I've learned the hard way

That you can't buy happiness

The older I get

The more I see it clear

I'm still young but I must say

Growing old hasn't been fun

Each day is like a second hand

It's gone before it's begun

And when I finally reach the end

And it's time to say goodbye

I'll realize

Growing old's not fun til you've grown old

And look back on your life

I know the time has come

For you to say your last goodbye

I've realized

Growing old was fun
