I was waiting for you to enter the room in this dingy motel out in SyracuseAnother year spent on the road and time collects the tollsYou know that I pay with each of my daysYour smile was lit bright by the years of my life but I wasted my breath with this tired lament:Too many candles on this cake and I'm sick of getting spankedSo just let me be the old man by the seaBut you said, Oh no, you're not that oldYou said, Oh noYou've just finally realized someday you're gonna dieBut you'll be okay, you'll be alrightMy friends sit at the bar and they gaze from afarAt the teenagers dancing and laughing so hardThey say, Now do you remember when? I think we were once like themThey nod and agree and then order a drinkBut I say, Oh no you're not that oldI say, Oh noYou still know how to danceYou just won't take a chanceSo take one with me or we'll drown in whiskeyMy right knee's goin' my hearing's blownI've got scars on my teeth and chips off my throatLetras de cancionesBut they're all just signs that it's been a good lifeIt's been a good life, yeah it's been a good lifeWe sing oh noWe sing oh whoaWe sing oh noWe sing oh whoaWe sing oh noWe're not that oldWe sing oh noWe've just finally realizedSomeday we're gonna dieBut we'll be okay, we'll be alright From Letras Mania
