Forever's What I Sold Her


My upcoming birthday has me thinkin'
Of ways to slow my agin' and my wrinklin'
This thinkin's got me queasy
Since I know it won't be easy
Changing nature's rhythm with my tinkerin'

We've learned from Mother Nature that the fact is
Our globe will spin forever on its axis
The way it goes around
If she'd only slow it down
We'd have much less concern as our time lapses

So when each minute passes by I'm only seconds older
I'd better kiss my wife and love and hold-her
I hope I still attract-her
Even with my agin' factor
'Cause the promise of forever's what I sold-her

The thing about age is that it sort of creeps up on you and takes you unawares - so I guess the advice is, grab what you can and have fun - at least in a relationship you can age disgracefully together
