Old Man Time

Old man time, he's so mean
Meanest man you've ever seen
He gives you youth, then he steals it away
He takes your nice pretty hair, turns it gray

Makes you rich, makes you poor, he's a dog
All your dreams and your schemes ain't worth a dime
So have a good time every day
'Cause you'll never, never get away
From old man, old man time

Old man time, that boog-a-boo
Every year he changes you
He bends your back, dims your eyes, you see less
You quake and shake, when he's through, you're a mess

Makes you fat, thin or tall, he plays tricks on us all
Every year, changes you, no sense or rhyme

He gives you beauty charm and grace
Then puts wrinkles in your face
That's old man, old man time

But there's one thing he can't change
Love that's true, stays the same
It lives on, on and on in any climb

So you don't ever have to fret
Fall in love and you'll forget
That old man, old man time
Yes old man, old man time
