Till I'M Old

I wanna live till my old golden days 
When my head got that old grey hair
Where I'm hell bent on my olden ways
With wise words that everyone I see I wanna share 

Cause I'll want to let them know of the things I've learnt
To let them know that time goes, they need to make the most of it
Cause unlike pictures, memories never get burnt
They forever stay with us till the end of it 

That there's nothing worse like regret
That at times let yourself go
Cause you might be surprised what you'll get
By always trying, seeking new things and seeing where you'll go 

For it's only a coward that never dares
And it's only a coward that never lives
For they are afraid of a few stares
Only for them to see time pass, and trees shade their leaves 

Cause great seasons will surely come
Where the moon glows even in the day
But we have no control over that only on what we'll become
Cause we got choices and decisions to make everyday 

I wanna live till my sunset years
When the glow in me soon fades to the horizon
Cause I'll be saying bye to my good years
But would be happy cause I'll have lived, I won't be alone
