Wide-Eyed and Eager
There are some things in life
That you never forget
Buried deep down in your soul
Your very first kiss
Your first two wheel bike
The very first cookie you stole
Nothing quite compares
To a lifetime of memories
A treasure trove to cherish forever
Your sixty-five Corvette
With a 350 engine
Feelings never equaled ever
Nostalgic these memories
When the world was brand new
Your life was just waiting to be lived
Experiencing new things
Exciting new adventures
You've got so much giving to give
May think my time's come
To throw in the towel
Plan to still be around for a while
Got stuff to explore
Lotsa places to see
Still wide-eyed and eager like a child
