Cliff Richard - Older lyrics
[Cliff Richard - Older lyrics]
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
With the same old song in my same old heart
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
I passed a gray haired man, he found my eyes
It's like he knew my thoughts
And he read my mind
Saying life is gonna find you
When it's supposed to
I felt my feet stop short
And I turned my head
Tried to lean into every word he said
And then he said
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closurе
When you get older, whеn you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Have I killed my thoughts
Right before their prime?
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
If I wait till my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
And will I get to
Will I ride the flood, open up the dam
Will I be the man I really am and understand
That when you're younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older when you get older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
With the same old song in my same old heart
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
I passed a gray haired man, he found my eyes
It's like he knew my thoughts
And he read my mind
Saying life is gonna find you
When it's supposed to
I felt my feet stop short
And I turned my head
Tried to lean into every word he said
And then he said
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closurе
When you get older, whеn you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Have I killed my thoughts
Right before their prime?
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
If I wait till my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
And will I get to
Will I ride the flood, open up the dam
Will I be the man I really am and understand
That when you're younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older when you get older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
