The Change

The change wasn't all that sudden It didn't happen overnight In fact I didn't feel a thing Whether or not it was wrong or right With a wrinkle here and a wrinkle there A little off the top What didn't fall out turned to gray As my memory of it all was lost All the mirrors I used didn't have a clue Or in cahoots they didn't let on If they had, not sure what I would do Except git along little dogie, git along I can no longer blame cloud cover For the dimming that old age has made Somebody's got my number And is counting down the days I'm sure in this I'm not alone If I'm sure of anything This is not a new phenomenon In what the changes bring I just hope my hearings well enough When life hollars out last call The change wasn't all that sudden In fact I didn't feel a thing at all
