Never Get Old - Tom Robinson

Long ago when we both were young

Living for kicks, kisses and fun

We were carefree, pretty and dumb

Take a good look at me now

Bloom of youth was starting to fade

The day you faced my wavering gaze

Picked me up and blew me away

Take a good look at me now

Did you think we’d never get old

Never get old, never get old?

Take a good look at me now

Mad and bad, exciting to know

Where you led I was happy to go

In your spell I’d never say no

Take a good look at me now

Bit by bit you started to sink

Slapdash, bareback, starting to drink

I played safe and stayed on the brink

Take a good look at me now

Did you think we’d never get old

Never get old, never get old?

Take a good look at me now

Leaning on me, sick in the street

Smelling of sweat, dead on your feet

Swallowing hard, unable to speak

Take a good look at me now

Sober coat, a jacket and tie

Sat with strangers, wiping an eye

Empty gesture, saying goodbye

Take a good look at me now

Did you think we’d never get old

Never get old, never get old?

Take a good look at me now
