|
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my life
|
Learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures
|
And so I happily concede
|
That this is all I ask, this is all I need
|
|
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
|
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
|
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
|
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
|
|
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
|
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown
|
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
|
Then I will stay younger than Spring
|
