Aging Well

I wouldn't mind someday being 71
or hell maybe a hundred and two
but as long as I can walk
and I keep my wits
and as long as I'm with you

I don't mind lengthening my years
because I have no fears about tomorrow
as long as I have a life with few tears
and there'll be no sorrow

and I'd be happy some day being weathered and gray
as long as I'm glad to be alive and not skipping to my grave

I wouldn't mind someday being 71
or hell maybe a hundred and two
but as long as I can walk
and I keep my wits
and as long as I'm with you

I'd like us to me old jewish type couple
the kind that always argues
and we'll gripe about the prices of inflation
and why we don't need to buy apple juice

and I like to think about, sing about, what'll come about
of us later in the future
a world that revolves about, can't live a day without
our robots, flying cars, and computers

I wouldn't mind someday being 71
or hell maybe a hundred and two
but as long as I can walk
and I keep my wits
and as long as I'm with you

and I'd be happy some day being weathered and gray
as long as I'm glad to be alive and not skipping to my grave

but what's so fun?
about dying young?
when we can live forever?

but til then I'll live today
and later I will say
that I lived life to the full
and I'm not feeding you bull
shit
and I've lived life to the full
and maybe someday we will know!
and maybe someday we'll know
