lyrics

I have a new friend
Octogenarian
It feels like we're in a play we're staging
I met her in the park
She shared her bench, she shared her spark
I needed to not be afraid of aging.

'Cause if I only watched TV
I'd think old age is a disease
That in this world there is no place
For grey hair or wrinkled face
Where does that leave me?

I hear about her latest passions
See her bike and the helmet she fashions
She is one inspiring lady.
Sure she's got aches and pains
She always shares her champaign
And tells me sex is the best at eighty

'Cause if I only watched the news
I'd think that I was bound to lose
Any sense of sensuality
Or what we've agreed is beauty
Where does that leave me?

It's through eyes glazed in tears
She tells me 'bout her husband of fifty years
And all the adventures they had shared
Her heart holds so much sorrow
She's optimistic about tomorrow
Even if life's not always fair

'Cause if I lived in Hollywood
I'd think the ending's always good
Always laughter, we can pretend
Happily ever after will never end
Where would that leave me?

We sit together in the park
We sip champaign till it gets dark
Time's a figment of imagination
With my new friend by my side
I have myself an honest guide
To a full life lived in celebration

'Cause if I believed all that stuff
I'd never think I was enough
I'd pass on wisdom in search of youth
I'd search for profits instead of truth
I think I'll leave them.
