Don't wait too long - Sept 2026

How old am I now? I see the silver in my hair It’s already been a long time there How old am I now? I see young lovers in the park Boys with boys and light with dark And I recall when I first felt that spark A long time ago But don’t wait too long Summer’s almost gone I feel winter coming on Don’t wait - don’t wait too long I like simple things The way a bird in my backyard sings Watching waves come rolling in I like simple things I’m in no hurry at all Sitting in the sun on my garden wall I’m not waiting for the leaves to fall No hurry at all I can stay or I can roam I don’t mind living on my own I am happy just to be at home Oh I don’t mind - I don’t mind at all I hear children play A happy sound not far away And I’m still learning every day Just how to play Do I make you smile? If I do then I’m the perfect age I’m not ready yet to leave the stage For how old is a smile? But don’t wait too long Don’t wait too long Summer’s almost gone I feel winter coming on Don’t wait - don’t wait Don’t wait too long
