A doctor friend of mine

I'd see from time to time

Had a design for his longevity

He said Exercise my friend

that is the key

Exercise is what extends our life expectancy

And when he sadly died

At the age of 35

Getting his clothes caught in a gym machine

The irony brought home to me

What you and I should take all this to mean

Let's fall in love

Before we get too old

Ignoring all the reasons not to

No long term plans

Just be Pеter Pans

Hang onto my hand and hold

Now before wе get too old

A gentleman I knew

Let his funds accrue

Until he'd a sizeable annuity

Saved scrimped

cut back forty-seven years

Planning to retire and sail the World on holiday

But tragic came the news

First day of his cruise

Slipped on a gangplank in the pouring rain

He saw the Earth

On traction in his berth

And in reaction I thought once again

Let's fall in love

Before we get too old

The future we can never know

Life is a car

That's driving into snow

So hang onto my hand and hold

Now before we get too old

A man a lot like me

Proceeded cautiously

Now this I see to be a great mistake

Postpone the day to make your hay

You might find you

can no longer lift your rake

Let's fall in love

Before we get too old

We never get those days again

Some people say

You should 'squirrel things away'

I say plant them and let's see what grows

Tomorrow never ever knows

Just hang onto my hand and hold

Before we get too old
