The years are taking their toll.
Another birthday has now arrived.
People you meet say you're still looking young.
With a smile, you wink and say, "Nice try."
You have a few more aches and pains.
A different one each day.
Your eyesight's none too clever,
And your hearing has started to fade.
Your memory has gone on vacation,
Although you no longer travel too far.
You try to avoid meeting old friends
Because nowadays you forget who they are.
Yes, birthdays used to be special.
When you're old, they're not as much fun.
You no longer want to rejoice and party.
Your mind's still willing, but your body has gone.
When first we touched,
My heart flew high,
On gossamer wings through a cloudless
You tell me you love me
but call her just as soon
I feel like in this game I can'
I am worthy. There is nothing
that can or will happen today that
could convince m
Together we may struggle
but without you all I feel is pain.
Sometimes I may seem
Fly away with me, my dove
To a forbidden place where the skittles meet the rainbow.
Just for today,
Can we forget about race,
Colour, religion
We knew love had no space.
No choice, but to force it into
tight space. We handle
I'm resting here quite regally,
The feature of the table.
Surrounded by potatoes
I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it
Never give up,
Never give in.
Move onward and upward with strength from within.
