I've reached the age when I must slow down,
That's all I have to say.
I can't go any faster now,
Or I'll just fade away.
I really need to take my time,
To keep my age at bay,
To make the most of every hour,
Or I'll just fade away.
To sit and rest that's what I'll do,
This, the next and every day.
And count my blessings every one,
Or I'll just fade away.
The day went by I need my sleep,
And on my bed I lay.
I'll close my eyes, whisper a thanks,
And then just fade away.
