Oh oh oh oh
Where does the time go?
It goes by so fast
When you start to grow old
I remember in my youth
It seemed like every year
There was a permanent lag
Hurry up

Aw finally
It’s all here at last
Driving
Voting
Moving out
Paying bills
Adulting
Gambling
Now what?

I think I know
We spend our childhood
Longing for the future
Drivers license and first drinks
Dating and staying out late
It comes and it goes
Before we know what hit us
I forgot to take it all in
Inhale every joyous memory
Hold onto it forever
And treasure it
Hurrrry up, slowww dowwn

I turned forty
And I blinked
Never had a moment,
A chance to think
It was over, over, over
New ailments
Aches and pains
Unexplained weight gain
Fifty came so quickly
Slow down

Oh oh oh oh
I turned fifty
And I blinked
Never had a moment,
A chance to think
It was over, over, ohhhver
Fifty-five came so quickly
And I feel sixty
Creeping up on me
Slowww down

I suppose I can
Dye my hair
Buy a new car
Have an affair
Or I can cope with it
Ooooh oooooh

Time, it goes so slow
When you’re young, waiting
For all the fun
And so fast
When there
Isn’t much left but
Growing old and death
Slowwww down
