Growing Old

Verse 1

I’ve got laugh lines deeper than the sea

And stories that start with “You wouldn’t believe me”

I’ve danced in the rain, tripped on my pride

But I always got up with a joke on my side

Pre-Chorus

They say time takes its toll

But I say it takes its role

To turn fools into sages

Or grumps into cages

Chorus

It’s better to grow old with a sense of humor

Than to grow old with no sense at all

I’ll take the giggles, the snorts, the bloopers

Over bitterness and protocol

Let the knees creak, let the hair fall

I’ll be cracking jokes through it all

It’s better to grow old with a sense of humor

Than to grow old with no sense at all

Verse 2

I’ve worn socks that didn’t match

And told puns that made folks scratch

But laughter’s a balm, a rebel’s grace

It keeps the light in a wrinkled face

Bridge

So here’s to the wisecracks and the winks

To belly laughs and spilled drinks

To finding joy in the mess we make

And laughing loud for laughter’s sake

Final Chorus

It’s better to grow old with a sense of humor

Than to grow old with no sense at all

I’ll toast to the clowns, the dreamers, the bloomers

Who rise each time they fall

Let the world spin, let the rules stall

I’ll be telling jokes through it all

It’s better to grow old with a sense of humor

Than to grow old with no sense at all
