LYRICS
When you grow old
Or so I’m told
Life throws a curve
And you lose your nerve

How unfair to lose your hair
How unkind to go blind
Chorus

Your teeth fall out all about
Going deaf closet to death
Chorus

Then get this… the onset of arthritis
Paralysis
Moans from broken bones
Osteoporosis

LYRICS
Day by day
Days go away
Minute by minute
Just won’t quit

Year by year
They disappear
Second by second
We can’t rewind

So as long as the memory knows
Let those memories grow
And as long as our time flows
Living in the present innuendo

Avoid the crazies
Pushin’ up daisies
Entice an embrace
Of the human race
They’ll know your story
In the land of glory

Song For Jimmy James

LYRICS
Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… you find your way home

In a crowd yet still alone
Full blown groan
Route unknown

Maybe you wish you hadn’t begun
Your trip back in the fountain of young
Reverting to a baby
Until maybe
You just can’t cope
Sliding down that slippery slope

Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… that you can roam… ’till you find your way home

LYRICS
22,000 days
They slip away
In so many ways

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

The world stage
For our plays
Watching youth age

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

For sure
Mature
Can write a beautiful page

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

 D            F               
 Old man look at my life 
  C                       G           
 Twenty four and there's so much more
 D               F       
 Live alone in a paradise
      C                 F
 That makes me think of two

 D          F           
 Love lost, such a cost,
 C                   G              
 Give me things that don't get lost.
 D                C               
 Like a coin that won't get tossed
 F               G   
 Rollin' home to you.

 D                                    Am7      Em7  G
 Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
 D                             Am7       Em7       G 
 I need someone to love me the whole day through
 D                                   Am7         Em7  
 Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

 D F C G  D F C F

 Lullabies, look in your eyes,
 Run around the same old town.
 Doesn't mean that much to me 
 To mean that much to you
 I've been first and last
 Look at how the time goes past.
 But I'm all alone at last.
 Rolling home to you.

 Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were

LYRICS
The seasons are changing
And, so are you
But, that doesn’t mean
Compromising your point-of-view
naught, nil, nix
toss superfluous

You elect
The energy you project

Right is right
Throughout the nights
And, always all the days

The reality of nice musicality
