Talk About Getting Old Lyrics

Hey baby when you coming home?

Been thinking lot about you

I want to spend some time alone

But not alone without you

I want to sit together

Talk about the day

Nothing too exciting anyway

But a hand to hold

Talk about getting old

A homebody needs to be at home

And no one need remind us

Don't need a lot of space to roam

Those days are all behind us

We'll make love in the morning

It's getting too late

It's harder to get started after eight

Truth be told

Talk about getting old

Gravity's relentless

It's taking quite a toll

Our bodies are always younger than our souls

Like tarnished gold

Everything's getting old

Hey baby look how much we've grown

In the art of conversation

We've got language of our own

Considerate and patient

Everything's forgiven

We've figured it out

Can't remember what we fought about

A lighter load

Talk about getting old

Growing into comfort

Softened by the hurt

Skin is fitting looser but like a worn-in shirt

I suppose

Guess we're just getting old

Someday we'll sit on our front porch

Watch the grandkids playing

And see how far we've passed the torch

In the daylight fading

We won't be caught flatfooted

It won't come as a shock

When bodies can't do more than talk

And repose

We'll talk about getting old
