Lyrics
OLD KID
© Lon Conklin 2020
I fight the nap most days the nap'll win
I lose precious time letting the sandman in
If things get good with age I must be getting great
Thinking young as if
I'm just an old kid
The Mrs and me do less more for sure
But we do it slow and enjoy it more
And I'm a hot mess minus the hot I guess
Still get the itch
I'm just an old kid
Bridge:
And we dance a little slower
And we kiss a little softer
I hold her closer a little longer
And I love her a little stronger
Her best make-up day is when she wears a smile
Favorite Sunday dress is gone way out of style
With every lovely moon she hums a merry tune
Each night's a gift
When you're an old kid
2nd Bridge:
And we dance a little slower
And we kiss a little softer
She holds me closer a little longer
And she loves me a little stronger
I woke today feelin 30ish
More candles on the cake mean a bigger wish
Each Golden Year brings a happy tear
Every one's a gift
To an old kid
Tag:
And I'll hold her a little closer
Her love makes me tick
I'm just an old kid
An old kid
