Fifty-Something Happy and Free

They say that fifty Is over the hill I don't sway that way So take a chill pill Let me show you Just how real It all makes me feel What turning fifty can be According to me Everything is nifty and free Couldn't wait to see What it had in store for me I think we can all agree Gravity takes its place We are no longer pretty as lace The miles on our face Take us back to a special place Only time can trace Never erase With a smile on my face It all went by so fast It's hard to unmask And stay on task I won't fret Cause you can bet I have no regrets So I won't let it get to me I'm fifty-something happy and free To just be me At least I can see How it turned out for thee That turning fifty Is ok by me When I get up each day I play my way No matter what they say It's ok To be on my way To a new kind of day It brings so many familiar rings We all think we can sing Happy and free to just be me Most of us enjoy a good fling We no longer leave loose strings We have all felt loves sting Gotten over the bling bling Happy to just swing Being fifty-something happy and free Just being me I won't fret cause You can bet  I have no regrets So I won't let it get to me Let me say that fiftysomething Has made it possible to see How much you all mean to me As I expect we will all be  fifty something happy and free Just hoping to still see The person we choose to be Make the most of every day Be sure to love the most Always be a good host And learn to boast See this world from coast to coast Except that fiftysomething Makes you happy To just be free As you can be
