lyrics

When I’m Old

Nothing much impresses me lately.
I guess it’s true I know a lot of things.
But there seems to be one great big exception
inspiring this new song I sing.

I feel it when we’re sitting here together
Just playing games or reading an old book.
Even if we’re just talking ‘bout the weather
Grandma you give old age a new look.

When I’m Old I’ll be looking back and smiling
When I’m Old I won’t worry what the time is.
When I’m Old I’ll be feeling good as new
When I’m Old I wanna be just like you…

Now we don’t look exactly the same
Your skin is kinda wrinkly—mine is smooth.
But I think you’ve got a slightly bigger brain
Filled with information I could use.

And oh, to have done so much living—
So much taking and giving.
To have traveled the world over so many years,
Dancing and twirling through laughter and tears.
I want that satisfied feeling…


Words: L. Mathews
Music: L. Mathews, M. Gehl
