Simon Strauss - Getting Old, Pt. 2 Lyrics



Simon Strauss - Getting Old, Pt. 2 Lyrics




Long ago when I was a quite a little boy
The toys I played with were shiny and new
Now they're on show, displayed in this antique store
They're trying to tell me that I'm getting old
The years are a passing, time's moving faster
I try not to think that I am growing old
But the thoughts that are new mean I have to review
Who's getting older is it me or you?

I remember when I was at school
Summer holidays seemed to go forever
Now that I'm working, and holidays are memories
It's the working that never seems to end
Once I used to count my years, celebrate with wine and beers
Now I'm counting down, and counting wasted tears
They talk about a hill, a mountain that we climb
Why when we're over do we start to climb down
The years are a passing, time's moving faster
I try not to think that I am growing old
But the thoughts that are new mean I have to review
Who's getting older is it me or you?
Who's getting older is it me or you?

When was the first time you contemplated children?
When was the first time you contemplated theirs?
And sadly, while I'm at it, and only for the first time now
I wonder if I'll ever see a child of theirs
There's a sense of irony, the more we look the more we see
Don't over think it, your life is still ahead
What-ever is left, you'd better make the most of it
You know you can't once you are dead
The years are a passing, time's moving faster
I try not to think that I am growing old
But the thoughts that are new mean I have to review
Who's getting older is it me or you?
Who's getting older is it me or you?
Who's getting older is it me or you?
