Lyrics
VERSE# 1 When I was young I would climb
'ld jump and run to explore the unknown
That slipped away over timeNow when I can I sit alone
Wishing those childhood days could stay
And I had all that energy today
CHORUS But you're only as old as you feel
The wrinkles on your face can't reveal
That you're only as old as you feel
Change your frame of mind
To Avoid being left behind
'Cause you're only as old as you feel
VERSE# 2 Look how fast life passes by
So many days I will never recall
The moon and the stars in the sky
Winter and Spring Summer and Fall
Living in my own little paradise
Built from years of work and sacrifice
CHORUS But you're only as old as you feel
The wrinkles on your face can't reveal
That you're only as old as you feel
Change your frame of mind
To Avoid being left behind
'Cause you're only as old as you feel
BRIDGE Like when you were younger
You had a thirst you had a hunger
For kicking a rock with your boot in the sunshine
So many days have gone by
Since you were a kid wondering how birds fly
Spending a day playing games was just fine
Now you're not a kid anymore
CHORUS But you're only as old as you feel
The wrinkles on your face can't reveal
That you're only as old as you feel
Change your frame of mind
To Avoid being left behind
'Cause you're only as old as you feel
