LYRICS
It's so hard To watch you slowly fold And give in to the flow Of getting old Can we grow younger So we don't have to lose one other And we can look forward to getting old And finally meeting each other Can we grow younger Hmm You look so pretty with the white hair I wish it wasn't a sign of the years gone by A harsh reminder we all must die some day We're all gonna die Can we grow younger So we don't have to lose one other And we can look forward to getting old And finally meeting each other Can we grow younger I don't want to leave it all behind I guess I'll see you on the other side I hope I see you on the other side Can we grow younger So we don't have to lose one other And we can look forward to getting old And finally meeting each other Can we grow younger So we don't have to lose one other And we can look forward to getting old And finally meeting each other Meeting each other
