I Don't Want to Grow Old

I don't want to grow old

I don't want to turn wrinkly and grey

Even if it's true what they say

That I'll look more distinguished that way

I don't want to grow old

But that's what happens, I'm told

If growing old is what I must do

Then let me grow old with you

I don't want to be wise

I don't want to unravel life's mysteries

Don't want to be amazed

To see how quickly a lifetime flees

I don't want to grow old

But that's what happens, I'm told

If I must become a sage of retirement age

Then let me grow old with you

I don't want to grow old

I guess nobody do

But it will be much easier

If I can grow old with you

It just isn't fair

I know you'll agree

That there is nothing sure in life

But a lifetime guarantee

That we're gonna get older

We got nothing to fear

It's a natural process

It's a pain in the rear

I don 't wanna grow old

But it's irreversible as can be

The only consolation for this degeneration

Is if you will grow old with me

I don't want to grow old

I already forget too many things

Regret too many things

I've learned to accept too many things

I don't want to grow old

But it might be okay

If you can still look at me that way

Oh, let me grow old with you!
