I'M Getting On In Years Now

I'm getting on in years now my balding head is gray But I am not complaining that I've known a better day The present is all that matter and the past is forever gone And our biological clock is ticking and life goes on and on The present is all that matter and the past is forever past Though good memories of our younger years into old age does last The secret is in living and live for as long as you can My only life's ambition is to die as an old man The baby born yesterday is one day nearer to death For each and everyone of us there is a final breath The celebrity and the billionaire to the reaper's scythe must fall Just like the poor old homeless soul death does await us all I would like to live forever but alas that cannot be And the monarch and the billionaire are mortals just like me.
