Lyrics

You know you're getting older
in the head and in the heart
you finally get yourself together
but your body starts to fall apart
you know you're getting older
you start watching what you eat
you want to go to the quiet pub where
you know you'll get a seat
you know you're getting older
but you still try to kid yourself
that you could be the number one
not stuck up on the shelf
the glory of your youth is now over your shoulder
you can't escape the truth
we're all getting older
You know you're getting older
it's in what you say and what you do
you feel so tired, you feel so wearie
your back goes out more than you
you know you're getting older
you know you're losing track
time passes so quickly now
the clock you just can't turn back
you know you're getting older
you realise with a fright
instead of staying up till dawn
you'd prefer an early night
the story of your youth
is now consigned to a folder
we can't escape the truth
we're all getting older
and you know you're getting older
you've lived and you have learned
things have come, things have gone
the pages they have turned
you know you're getting older
but I say to you my friend
what happens next
could be what matters in the end
