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
