"I'll Fly Away"

ANOTHER YEAR

Another year has passed and we're all a little older
Last summer felt hotter and winter seems much colder

I rack my brain for happy thoughts, to put down on my pad
But lots of things that come to mind that make me kind of sad

There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast
Now I fully understand about "Living in the Past"

We used to go to weddings, football games and lunches
Now we go to funeral homes, and after-funeral brunches

We used to have hangovers, from parties that were gay
Now we suffer body aches and while the night away

We used to go out dining, and couldn't get our fill
Now we ask for doggie bags, come home and take a pill

We used to often travel to places near and far
Now we get sore butts from riding in the car

We used to go out shopping for new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother ... all the sizes are to small

We used to go to nightclubs and drink a little booze
Now we stay at home at night and watch the evening news

That, my friend is how life is, and now my tale is told
So, enjoy each day and live it up ....
Before you're too darned OLD !
