Since I've known you we've always been together,
and in that time the love we shared,
we vowed would last forever,
yet marriage is a subject you approve,
providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you,
and much as I respect that view,
I have to state my case,
though I'm far from being over-the-hill,
it occurs to me with each passing day...

That I'm not getting any younger,
God knows it wasn't my idea,
the years that used to take,
an eternity to make,
are now passing at what seems
like one a week.

If only we'd have met when I was your age,
I wouldn't have this awful fear,
I get when I leave your place,
you don't know how upsetting it can be,
to hear you talk of future plans,
none of which seem to include me.

Blue jeans and high heel, boots are great,
of course I still wear mine quite a bit,
but it's now more apparent than ever before,
despite keeping myself fairly fit...

That I'm not getting any younger,
even those grey hairs are now starting to appear,
and there are lines under my eyes,
that never used to be this size,
even though it could,
be due to lack of sleep,
something tells me that it's more to do,
with passing years.

At times I think perhaps it would be better,
if rather than go on this way posted you a letter,
explaining in great detail why I feel,
the way things are between us,
suits you much more than it suits me.

You have your whole life ahead of you,
well, d___ it I also have mine,
and unless I am by nature a freak,
there's no mistaking those deadly signs.

And I'm not getting any younger,
look closely now and you will see,
the rebel in his teens,
who thought all adults were obscene,
is now somewhat disenchanted with the news,
that kids today have got no respect
for his views.

And I'm not getting any younger,
gone are those days when school reports
were all I feared,
now for the first time in my life
I'm seeing something I don't like,
and am powerless to prevent from happening,
one day you'll find out for yourself,
just what I mean...
