Middle Age

Middle Age - Steve Forbert

Middle age is different

Now you're someone else

Now you've got some sense

Of how much time perhaps is left

Middle age is central

Now you tend to know

Not just where it's been you've been

But where you'll likely go

Middle age middle age I say

In a new older now later stage

Middle age is clearer

Now it dawns on you

Now you hafta laugh at what you

Used to think you knew

Middle age is cloudy

Rain or sleet or snow

Don't you wish you knew those things

In fact you once did know

Middle age middle age I say

In a new older now later stage

Middle age

Middle age

Here's your middle age years

Here's your middle age years

Middle age is hectic

Much less time for fun

Clearly it's a good thing youth is

Wasted on the young

Middle age middle age I say

In a new older now later stage

Middle age is telling

Now you see it's so

All those old gray people aren't to

Blame for being slow

Middle age is further

Closer to the end

This will be as young as you will

Ever be again

Middle age middle age I say

In a new older now later stage

Middle age middle age I say

Call it half by the best you can gauge

Middle age

Here's your middle age years

Here's your middle age years

Here's your middle age years

Here's your middle age years
