Tunes for the Ages(d)\ Beetles – “When I’m 64.” At 73, I wish. Jackson Browne - “In sixty-five I was seventeen (actually 25) and running up one-o-one. I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on.” Well, I kind of know where I ‘m running to now. Neil Young –“ Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.” Not sure about that. And Sinatra - “It Was a Very Good Year”. Most have been, not all.
Good one.
For every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
“Oh yeah life goes on, Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone.”
He really hit the nail on the head with that line. It’s very true and well put. Not a big fan of his, but I gotta give him that one.
“I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.”
Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely
I can't even make friends with my brain
I'm too young to be where I'm going
But I'm too old to go back again ...
70 is the new 55!
Maybe "More Than A Feeling" by Boston
..”the fundamental things apply as time goes by. .”
The Who - My Generation - "hope I die before I get old"
I'm not sure Ringo Starr, who is also 73 would agree with you.
WHAT? No WAY!
(Googling desperately)
Dear God, I am sooooo old... :-(
Our Song, the love of my life and I have lived it
Walk Through This World With Me by George Jones
Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I’ve looked for you a long, long time
And now that I’ve found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me
Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me,
I searched for you so
And now that I’ve found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...
I’m just a kid at 64. :)
“I ain’t as good as I once was. But I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
