As I approach the prime of my
life, I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask, this is
all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little
slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little
longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you
shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange,
enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit
of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish
come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long
as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than
Spring
