Don’t Let Yourself Grow Old

Don’t let yourself grow old, always think yourself young
Whatever your age, life has just begun
Don’t let anything get you down
Try to wear a smile and not a frown

Remember when you think you are nothing how special you are
You are amazing, whatever you do, you’re a star
You are strong enough to do what you want to do
Don’t leave it, do it today – for today is for you

Whatever doubts you have in your mind
When you make a start will vanish, you’ll find
Don’t let yourself get lost and behind 
And in all you do be caring and kind

Age is just a number, a state of mind 
If something in life stops you from living, you’ll find
If you feel inside that life has just begun
And whatever age you are – think yourself young
