A song written and recorded on 26 April 2020
peace
wisdom
nostalgia
ageing
young love
Story behind the song
Looking back on my life and looking at my life now..
Lyrics
How old am I now?
I see the silver in my hair
Its already been a long time there
How old am I now?
I see young lovers in the park
Boys with boys and light with dark
And I recall when I first felt that spark
A long time ago
Dont wait too long
Summers almost gone
I feel winter coming on
Dont wait
Dont wait too long...
I like simple things
The way a bird in my backyard sings
Watching waves come rolling in
I like simple things
Im in no hurry at all
Sitting in the sun on the garden wall
Im not waiting for the leaves to fall
No hurry at all
I can stay or I can roam
I dont mind living on my own
Im happy just to be at home
No I dont mind
I dont mind at all
I hear children play
A happy sound not far away
And Im still learning every day
Just how to play
Do I make you smile?
If I do then Im the perfect age
Im not ready yet to leave the stage
For how old is a smile?
But dont wait too long
Dont wait too long
Summers almost gone
I feel winter coming on
Dont wait
Dont wait
Dont wait too long...
