Older
Seems as I grow older
My body grows colder
My eyes have started to fade
In life I didn't make the grade
My hair is gray
So tired today
I forget what I wanted to say
Days seem long
What have I done wrong
What have I done right
I think on this all night
So many wishes
Haven't done my dishes
Do them when able
You know I am not that stable
Life comes at you fast
How come nothing ever last
Love that was left behind
Now and then they like to haunt my mind
Loves a crime
Cost you nothing but time
Came so far
Reaching for my star
I look back to see what I may find
Memories are lifes rewind
Nothing there
I used to care
Still dare
Under this blue sky
I reach so high
Thinking if only
Past this life so lonely
I somehow missed my one and only
Looking up at the moon
Life passes so soon
Lifes gloom
Sitting in my room
One more night
Holding on to the light
Who am I
Why do you cry
Life passes by
I stand tall
Refuse to fall
On I go
That is all I know
