Gilbert O'Sullivan: I'm not getting any younger

Since I've known you we've always been togetherAnd in that time the love we shared we vowed would last foreverYet marriage is a subject you approveProviding it has nothing whatsoever to do with youAnd much as I respect that viewHave to state my caseThough I'm far from being over-the-hillIt occurs to me with each passing dayThat I'm not getting any youngerGod knows it wasn't my ideaThe years that used to takeAn eternity to makeAre now passing at what seems like one a weekIf only we'd have met when I was your ageWouldn't have this awful fear I get when I leave your placeYou don't know how upsetting it can beTo hear you talk of future plansNone of which seem to include meBlue jeans and high heel boots are greatCourse I still wear mine quite a bitBut it's now more apparent than ever beforeDespite keeping myself fairly fitThat I'm not getting any youngerEven those grey hairs are now starting to appearAnd there are lines under my eyesThat never used to be this sizeEven though it could be due to lack of sleep3omething tells me that it's more to do with passing yearsAt times I think perhaps it would be betterIf rather than go on this wayPosted you a letterExplaining in great detail why I feelThe way things are between usSuits you much more than it suits meYou have you whole life ahead of youWell damn it I also have mineAnd unless I am by nature a freakThere's no mistaking those deadly signsAnd I'm not getting any youngerLook closely now and you will seeThe rebel in his teensWho thought all adults were obsceneIs now somewhat disenchanted with the newsThat kids today have got no respect for his viewsAnd I'm not getting any youngerGone are those days when school reports were all I fearedNow for the first time in my lifeI'm seeing something I don't likeAnd am powerless to prevent from happeningOne day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean
