Church Street the Band - Getting Old Lyrics

Every little kid says an ordinary phrase
When I grow up, oh, one of these days
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna have it all
Then they grow up and reminisce
When we were young, oh, wasn't it bliss
We just were, we just did, we just had it all

Oh the story's been told
Don't wish away today, thinking 'bout tomorrow

Steady and slow, before you know
You'll be where you always wanted to go
When you get there, you'll be looking back
Wishing you could live in the past
And you'll think of all the times
You wasted rushing by
All that goodness in your life
No need to hurry getting old

Oh Oh Oh Oh

Now here you are raising babies, trying hard to not go crazy
You wanna be, you wanna do, you wanna have it all

Oh the days move slow
But years fly by while you're thinking 'bout tomorrow

Steady and slow, before you know
You'll be where you always wanted to go
When you get there, you'll be looking back
Wishing you could live in the past
And you'll think of all the times
You wasted rushing by
All that goodness in your life
No need to hurry getting old

Oh Oh Oh Oh

Just like that the kids are grown
They've moved out, out on their own
They're gonna be, they're gonna do, they're gonna have it all
Now we get together and we reminisce
When we were young, oh, wasn't it bliss
Here we are, we've always been right where we want to be

Steady and slow, before you know
You'll be where you always wanted to go
When you get there, you'll be looking back
Wishing you could live in the past
And you'll think of all the times
You wasted rushing by
All that goodness in your life
No need to hurry getting old

Oh Oh Oh Oh
