Vicki Brown - Old Man

Old man
Let me look into your eyes.
What do I see?
Is it the secret of your life?
Why do you smile as if you'd say
I’m not afraid, not afraid when the children throw the future in my face

Your years are far behind but if time could start again
Not for the world would you change one single love, too precious
All the memories you cling to Old man
I look at you
And see the truth shining in your eyes
If I could only know just for a moment
The things you’ve seen
The things you’ve said
It needn’t be like people say
That youth is wasted on the young.
