The Older I Grow

The older I grow, the more I find Every moment's a treasure, so I keep that in mind Time's quick as a breeze, gone in a blink So I live every second, no time to overthink Yeah, the older I grow, the truer it gets It's love that counts, not silver or debts If there's a fountain of youth, well, I'd let it pass by I'm right where I'm at, no need to deny The older I grow, fewer folks by my side But they're solid as rocks, so I'm filled with pride With friends that are true, you don't need a lot When they've got your back, you know what you've got Yeah, the older I grow, the truer it gets It's love that counts, not silver or debts If there's a fountain of youth, well, I'd let it pass by I'm right where I'm at, no need to deny Yeah, the older I grow, the truer it seems When to hold tight and when to chase dreams If they pulled up youth, I'd let it roll by Funny how life feels like it's soaring sky high And these lines on my face, they don't trouble me none Every tear, every laugh, like the rise of the sun They're stories, reminders of the life that I've known Little signs of each mile I've come to call home Yeah, the older I grow, I think of those gone Their spirits surround me, I carry them on And one day I know that when my time is near I'll walk with them too, with nothing to fear Yeah, the older I grow, the sweeter it feels For every day lived, the memories they've healed If there's a fountain of youth, well, I'd let it drift free I'm right where I'm at, no need to be me And as I look back, there's more left to go With the spirits of those I was blessed to know The older I grow, the wiser I get No need to rush now, no place for regret And as I look back, there's more left to go With the spirits of those I was blessed to know The older I grow, the wiser I get No need to rush now, no place for regret
