What can I say? I'm getting older. A really big chunk of life is behind me and a lot went on back there. My kids are grown up, I'm spending a lot of time alone these days, and there are a lot of memories. And there are always things that one wishes one had maybe done a little differently.
Lyrics
too soon old
and too late smart
my father used to say
when we're old and grey
and too worn out to play
we finally know the rules of the game
what I'd give to go back there again
and walk back through a few of my younger days
that foolish kid
who turned into me
would be a little smarter today
so many sweet things lost
we didn't know the cost
how much they would be worth
now, many years down the road
I stagger with the load
that breaks my heart into
memories
what I'd give to go back there again
and walk back through a few of my younger days
that foolish kid
who turned into me
would be a little smarter today
the file drawers of my mind
with me all the time
have some things under "R" for regret
but there are so many more
that send me out the door
in search of what I can't remember yet
we can never ever go back there again
to rerun even one of our younger days
but the memories
that stay with us now
make us a little wiser today
