"Gettin Old Is A Gift"

Music/Lyrics by JK Wilson

Verse
Was a Saturday like any other

Turned in the lot, stoppin at the store

Saw a pick up truck, man in his late 80s

Went up to help him get his bags in the door

Chorus
He said gettin old isn't what you think it'll be

Time catches up yet I've seen more than those younger than me

So much we can pass on from the lives we live

You see gettin old is a gift some get blessed to give

Verse
Said his beautiful wife passed 'bout ten years ago

Misses her every day that he's here alone

But all he has to do is close his eyes and he feels the love of his best friend

Knows someday soon he'll be back with her again

Chorus
He said gettin old isn't what you think it'll be

Time catches up yet I've seen more than those younger than me

So much we can pass on from the lives we live

You see gettin old is a gift some get blessed to give

Bridge
Said the future is people like you, behind us, comin up

Take time to listen to those that came before you

You'll learn so much

Chorus
He said gettin old isn't what you think it'll be

Time catches up yet I've seen more than those younger than me

So much we can pass on from the lives we live

You see gettin old is a gift some get lucky to give

Gettin old is a gift some get lucky to give

Gettin old is a gift some of us get lucky to give
