When I get Old

A country song about getting to those senior years

 

When I get Old

When I get old and my hair falls out

will you still want me now,

When I get old and my teeth turn south

will you still want me now,

When I get old and nothing seems to work

will you still want me now,

When I get old and sometimes act like a jerk,

will you still want me now

I hope you will remember, when I was a stud,

I pray that you'll forgive me, when I am a dud

When I get old

When I forget where I put my keys,

will you still want me now,

When I complain about my knees,

will you still want me now,

When I turn my radio up to loud,

will you still want me now,

When I break wind in a crowd,

will you still want me now

I hope you will remember, when I was a stud,

I pray that you'll forgive me, when I am a dud

When I get old

When I'm an old grouch, a royal pain,

will you still want me now,

When I spill stuff, leaving a stain,'

will you still want me now,

When I complain about everything,

will you still want me now,

When I clog up the drain,

will you still want me now,

I hope you will remember, when I was a stud,

I pray that you'll forgive, when I am a dud

When I get old, when I get old, when I get old

I reached the dud and write about the so-call stud. I like this poem. It is too true. Age takes a lot from us. I carry note pads and pictures of the kids to remember. A excellent poem.

this would make a great song. I hope you sing it to me... haha I enjoyed this a lot.

Emphasizing the extreme commitment people need for any kind of long term relationship. Cute, simple, and slightly scary. Age is something we all worry about or look forward to.. Loved it:)

[aftervision]

such a fair question to ask -- and not too much to want

[Ruth]

Age is always there in the back of our minds, this is a great portryal of that xx

Ah. Love it. Honest, crude, to the point.
This was really touching, and what a beautiful way to write it.
Left me with mixed up feelings, but still, a wonderful write.
