Gaither Vocal Band - Thought Gettin’ Older lyrics

I thought gettin' older would take a
Lot longer than it did
It seems like the day before
Yesterday I was just a
Little snotty nosed kid
That shock of hair that I had
Back there went away and hid yeah, it did
But I thought gettin' older would take
A lot longer than it did

Well I'd have thought for sure Jesus
Would've come back by now
(Thought he would, thought he would)
I still believe someday I'll see Him
Riding that big white horse
Through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than
I did when I was a kid
Still I thought gettin' older would take
A lot longer than it did
(They thought gettin' older would take a
Lot longer than it did)
And I hope I have a few more
Years before they close that lid
Ah, come on, Larry
We've had more fun already than
I'd really like to admit
Still I thought gettin' older would
Take a lot longer
(He thought gettin' older would
Take a lot longer)
Still I thought gettin' older would take
A lot longer than it did
Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff

I'd thought by now I'd have
More money than I do
(Thought he would, thought he would)
Oh, but God knows best
We've all been blessed
(with more than enough to see us through)
And I wouldn't trade places with anyone else
Heaven and God forbid
Still I thought gettin' older would take
A lot longer than it did

Now this simple song is just two minutes long
Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid?
But it sure seems like it took
A lot longer than it did (Thank the Lord)
