As I Grow Older

Every day is one
That I grow older with
My youth, it has gone
As time passes forthwith

That I grow older with
Oh, it gets better
I think it's just a myth
For it can't fetter

My youth, it has gone
And never to return
It's always a pawn
For one I'll always yearn

As time passes forthwith
Vigor retired
Loss of sight comes herewith
Hearing has expired
