 As I approach the prime of my life
 I find I have the time of my life
 Learning to enjoy at my leisure
 All the simple pleasures
 And so I happily concede
 That this is all I ask
 This is all I need

 Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
 Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
 Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
 Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand

 Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
 Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown
 And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
 And I will stay younger than Spring
