Old and Grey

Sometimes I think that my life has just begun And someday, I'll have my day in the sun But the best days of my life have a past And they went by so very fast It scares me to think where my life has gone (and that I may never see tomorrow's dawn) I remember sitting on the swing I was nearly seven years old Contemplating, planning out my dreams Which of course would later be sold I would be happiness and grace (happiness and grace) Then wake on this track of life, and find that I'm losing the race I find myself looking forward into time Do as they say, and you will be fine Don't try to argue, and don't try to complain Hide your anger and your pain It scares me to think where my life has gone (and that I may never see tomorrow's dawn) I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilities Getting home by four to watch Richie Rich and Scooby-Doo Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late By the time I reached that age, the novelty had all but faded Now that we are old and grey, we've become annoyed and jaded Thinking back to the time when I was young I thought it would be so fun to grow up, and do anything I want It didn't turn out the way that I thought It would be happiness and grace (happiness and grace) Then wake up on this track of life to find that I am losing the race
