Another year has passed
And we're all a little older
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seems much colder
I rack my brain for happy thoughts
To put down on my pad
But lots of things that come to mind
that make me kind of sad
? There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast
Now I fully understand
About "Living in the Past"
We used to go to weddings
Football games and lunches
Now we go to funeral homes
And after-funeral brunches.
? We used to have hangovers
From parties that were gay
Now we suffer body aches
That sometmes lasts all day
We used to go out dining
And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags
Come home and take a pill
We used to often travel
To places near and far
Now we get sore bottoms
From riding in the car
? We used to go out shopping
For new clothing at the Mall
But now we never bother...
All the sizes are too small
? We used to go to nightclubs
Dance and drink a little booze
Now we stay at home at night
And watch the evening news
That, my friend is how life is
And now my tale is told
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
Before you're too darned old!
Goodnight now, it's 9:00 PM, way past my bedtime, mornings come so much ? earlier than they used to.
