I was walking down 57th Street towards Park With the same old song in my same old heart Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older I passed a grey-haired man, he found my eyes It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to I felt my feet stop short and I turned my head Found a leader to every word he said And then he said When you are young, you'll wish you're old Then when you're old, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime? Have I bit my tongue one too many times? Have I said it all the way I really meant to? If I wait till my tomorrow comes Is awaiting all I've ever done? And will I get to? Will I ride the flood, open up the dam? Will I be the man I really am? And understand that When you're young, you'll wish you're old Then when you're old, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older When you are young, you'll wish you're old Then when you're old, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Thank you for watching!
