We're Not As Young As We Used To Be

We're Not As Young As We Used To Be: an original song by Denny Carlson
I'm not as young as I used to be
Don't hear so good and I can't see
It's a fact of life we all agree
We're not as young as we used to be
When the say giddy up I still can go
My legs still move but I'll be movin' slow
I don't plan to run in a race
These days I prefer a slower pace
I no longer drive a car
But I still can strum on my old guitar
My fingers still work like they did in the past
But now they don't move quite as fast
I'm not as young as I used to be
Don't hear so good and I can't see
It's a fact of life we all agree
We're not as young as we used to be
Sometimes a word is hard to find
Hidden somewhere in the back of my mind
I'll find it later why fret and whine
Let's have another glass of wine
I've been around for a lot of years
I've had some fun drank my share of beers
Can't do all the things like I used to do
But I'll do what I can 'til my life is through
I'm not as young as I used to be
Don't hear so good and I can't see
It's a fact of life we all agree
We're not as young as we used to be
I like to think of myself as a jolly old man
But some days I'm just an old curmudgeon
Remembering the good times from way back when
Wishing to live them all over again
So many friends now are gone
But we'll just keep on keepin' on
The love and friendship that used to be
Still live on in our memory
I'm not as young as I used to be
Don't hear so good and I can't see
It's a fact of life we all agree
We're not as young as we used to be
