Old And Grey

Sometimes i think that my life has just begun

And someday I'll have my day in the sun

But the best days of my life have past

And they went by so very fast

It scares me to think just where my life has gone

And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn

I remember sitting on the swing

I was nearly seven years old

Contemplating, planning out my dreams

Which of course woudl later be sold

I would be happiness and grace

Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race

I find myself looking forward into time

Do as they say and you will be fine

Don't try to argue and don't try to complain

Hide your anger and your pain

It scares me to think just where my life has gone

And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn

I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree

Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites

Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo

Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do

Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great

Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late

By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded

Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded

Thinking back to the time when I was young

I thought it would be so fun to grow up

And do anything I want

It didn't turn out the way that I thought

It would be happiness and grace

Then wake up on theis track of life to find that I am losing the race
