Aging

Contest Entry, 40+ Lyrics Contest
(To the tune of "Daydream Believer" by the MONKEES)


Oh, I could once run a race
Breathlessness, there’d be no trace,
It made no difference I could keep the pace
But now I find that isn’t true
And my running days are few
‘Cause now I’d just fall flat on my face!

Aging, it can seem,
So much like a dream
Was only yesterday that
I was in my teens.

Now I wake to find
Without glasses I am blind
Hearing well’s not something I can do
My hair has come and went
And my money now is spent
On doctors, pills and tubes of dental glue.

Aging, it can seem,
So much like a dream
Was only yesterday that
I was in my teens.

Aging, it can seem,
So much like a dream
Was only yesterday that
I was in my teens.
