Past My Prime - Collaboration

Up early back then was one thing
Full of pep was quite another
Oh, I spent the nights in some fling
That drained one thing or the other  

I did love the early mornings  
But yet,it seems so long ago
Age does sneak up without warnings
And pep ebbs where it used to flow

Somewhere mornings turned demanding
A ruthless hussy I might say
I try to be understanding -
Past my prime in every way
