The Business Of Getting Old

It's not easy to get old You must learn not to expect anything From anyone, to walk alone Waking up alone, eat alone And accepting that everything comes to an end So is life, it's fleeting, not to grasp a little Know how to say goodbye To those who are leaving Remember them and cry for them Until you are empty inside To leave room for new smiles To form other illusions and new longings If we had another chance to live our lives again We would do everything we didn't dared to do Doing the things that which is right But life is reality as I open my eyes Time is not coming back Growing up is a choice All people get old if they live long enough But not all people mature No matter how long they live.
