Growing Old

Growing Old

Written By: Levin Schwartz

Chorus:

I can’t move

I must ask

For a helping hand.

I can not

seem to trust

my own legs to stand, and face,

the tasks that love demands.

Verse:

Going back to our old town

Full of sawdust and wry.

Now that old couples house is sold.

The two would sit around

Waving at the cars passing by.

We would go and listen, their stories

Never did get old.

With them just passing time and growing old.

Verse:

They said when they were young,

They would go and unfold the day.

Just like sultans claiming their thrones.

Loving like a mid-summers storm,

Wishing hopefully,

For “one day we’ll have a porch of our own,

For us to pass the time

And to grow old”.

Chorus:

I can’t move

I must ask

For a helping hand.

I can not

seem to trust

my own legs to stand, and face,

the tasks that love demands.

Verse:

The truth is an age-old quest

And now were full of years

And together we strongly hold

To the love we had professed

And now were finally here

Slowly growing old together

Slowly growing old

Slowly growing old together

Slowly growing old

Slowly growing old together

Slowly growing old
