Wrinkles In My Ears |
LyricsWRINKLES IN MY EARSI've got... Wrinkles in my ears Cramps in my toes If these are the golden years It's not easy getting old I can't sleep at night Money's getting tight These are my golden years And I'm still trying to get it right My hair is getting thin My eyes are growing dim I guess that's what it's all about And my teeth are falling out But on the other hand I'm here and I still can Do anything I want to do I don't need to have a plan I still can drive my car But I don't go very far Come and go as I please Oh Lord! where are my keys? I can live life as I choose Don't have too much to lose I like it here on my own Please don't put me in a home And when all is said and done I just want to have fun Be good -- be well -- be smart -- be kind Take it one day at a time And who gives a damn I'll laugh while I still can Live life without a plan And be true to who I am I can live my life without a plan And be true to who I am I'll be true to who I am LET ME GROW LOVELY GROWING OLD So many fine things do Laces and ivory and gold And silks need not be new There is healing in old trees Old streets a glamour hold Why may not I as well as these Grow lovely growing old? Why may not I as well as these Grow lovely growing old? Words & Music: Francine Jarry Let me grow lovely growing old~lyrics: Karle Wilson Baker |
