She's a little more than a child herself

Than the children of her own

All her living's done for someone else

The only life she's ever known

All the dreams and desires that she had

She had to put 'em all on hold



While another young heart became an old soul



River of life keeps rushing by

She just rolls with the flow

She's seen it all through world weary eyes

She takes it like it comes and goes



She's forgotten more about life and love

Than most will ever know

While another young heart became an old soul



Laugh too little and you cry too much

Way too long without that gentle touch

Weight of the world resting down in your bones

Pretty soon you've got an old soul

Old soul, old soul



Laugh too little and you cry too much

Way too long without that gentle touch

Weight of the world resting down in your bones

Pretty soon you've got an old soul

Old soul, old soul
