Lyrics Old And Gray

Don't let me grow old and gray
I don't want to know how it feels
To be all alone that way
Confusing what's lost with what is real
And slipping a little each day
Don't let me grow old
Don't let me grow old and gray

Don't let me turn hard and sour
Like sweet apple cider that's left by the door
Stuck in my ivory tower
Convinced nothing quite what it was before
And bitter in my final hour
Don't let me turn hard
Don't let me turn hard and sour

On and on the candle burns until it goes out
We never know how long it will last
Some of us can never learn to live with the doubt
Those dark shadows cast

Don't let me grow old and gray
And watch all my best friends go one by one
It seems like a high price to pay
For a few extra circles around the sun
Not all of us know how to pray
Don't let me grow old
Don't let me grow old and gray
