Old Man

Life passes on by Still I get out and try One life doesn't seem enough Who knew it would of been this rough Talked to an old friend Hated for that conversation to end Talked of why nobody ever stayed Loves a losing game some people have played Lonely times replayed in the mind Remembering those that was left behind Do they even still think of you Does your passion pull you through An old man, looking back His memories are on the attack Wishing he could rewrite the past And maybe find some peace at last. People come but then pass on by They can't even see the tears you cry Passing shadows on the wall. Out loud to heaven you call Please help, me, I'm starting to fall But the sound dies in your throat Your feeling kinda remote Time passes me on by. The age shows, in my eye Time has been lost to me Memories of all I did see They just won't let me be Yesterday wasn't meant to last Why I'm having visions of the past. Every day it's the same ol thing The sadness these thoughts bring. Waiting for that hells bell to ring Living my life the best I can do Keep my heart beating true. Living one day at a time I have learned, my life is the rhythm
