Lyrics

'A Portrait Of An Old Man' by Nadia Cripps (music, keyboard) and Richard Blum (ritmo) (lyrics, reading)

Portrait Of Getting Older
getting out of bed
isn't as easy as it once was
but when I think about all the love
I have shared, all the bread broken
to insure peace and comfort
my tired old bones, come alive
and my heavy laden eyes
can see that time has been very good to me
so many dreams fullfilled
beautiful children, grand children too
a special wife who knows my failings
but never set off to wailing
always knew just when to let me know
I had ventured off the path
with kindness in her voice
never a hint of wrath
it's these things over the years
that makes growing old
an event, worthy of happy tears
getting out of bed
isn't as easy as it once was
but when I think about all the love
