Lyrics Getting Older - Mike Dignam

Getting Older

No days different
The sun will rise to wake and my
Young days are distant
Playing tricks with my mind
The park I used to play
Has scuffs and marks from different names
The friends I grew up with
Now work for jobs they’ll always hate
Praying life’s lottery
Picks them out and brings escape
I’m known as the lucky one for
Breaking institutions gates
All I know is, I’m getting older
As each day makes its end
My last is getting closer
I’ve always something new to say
A friend I’ve made, a place I’ve stayed
A song I’ve sing to keep me high
Watching life pass me by
The stories are living
Living my life
The only way of freezing time
Is take a picture to remind
You how good you had it then
And how long you still got left
I count my blessings
I’m blessed to be alive
All I know is, I’m getting older
As each day makes its end
My last is getting closer
A rusting clock tells my time
A weathered life of wind and rhymes
And one day I will have my child
To carry on what I can’t do
Find a future made from new
And when, I breathe my last breath
Please know I’m content
Knowing, you’re the me that’s left
To walk along this earth
Make choices as you learn
Make memories
And love
You’ll love
You’ll love
All I know is, I’m getting older
As each day makes its end
My last is getting closer
All I know is, I’m getting older
As each day begins, my time isn’t over
Would I be happy with how I spent my time
Would I happy, how I lived my life
