The last fifty years
|
Have seen laughter and tears
|
And your hair slowly fade to gray
|
Your children are grown now
|
And it's hard to believe
|
How the years have just all slipped away
|
|
CHORUS:
|
BUT IN TIME YOU'VE GAINED A WISDOM
|
THAT SEEMS TO ELUDE THE YOUNG
|
AND EACH LINE THAT NOW MARKS YOUR FACE
|
TELLS THE STORIES OF ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE
|
SO FEAR NOT THE PASSING OF DAYS
|
'CAUSE LIKE THE SONG OF THE VIOLIN
|
YOU ONLY GROW SWEETER WITH AGE
|
|
As time's pages turn
|
You lived and you learned
|
What truly mattered most
|
Is family and friends
|
And in the end finding peace
|
In the path that you chose
|
|
CHORUS:
|
'CAUSE IN TIME YOU'VE GAINED A WISDOM
|
THAT SEEMS TO ELUDE THE YOUNG
|
AND EACH LINE THAT NOW MARKS YOUR FACE
|
TELLS THE STORIES OF ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE
|
SO FEAR NOT THE PASSING OF THE DAYS
|
'CAUSE LIKE THE SONG OF THE VIOLIN
|
YOU ONLY GROW SWEETER WITH AGE
|
|
Ooh, in time you've gained a wisdom
|
That seems to elude the young
|
And each line that now marks your face
|
Tells the stories of all that you've done
|
So fear not the passing of the days
|
'Cause like the song of the violin
|
You only grow sweeter with age
|
'Cause like the song of the violin
|
You only grow sweeter with age
|
|
The last fifty years
|
Have seen laughter and tears
|
And your hair slowly fade to gray
|
