You were supposed to be an old man
Playing tricks on kids
The way I remember
You often did
Some things don't end up
Way they outta be
I know it's a part of God's plan
Why's it so hard for me
Another year has gone by
Since you went away
You'll stay forever young
We grow old and gray
Not a day has gone by
Haven't seen your face
There are just some things
Time can't erase
Another year has gone by
Since you went away
You'll stay forever young
We grow old and gray
I wish I had the chance
To grow old with you
I'd settle for one more day
Guess that'd do too
You were supposed to be an old man
