Elvish Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Since I'll be round and turning a nice round number all in the same day...and won't be able to drink myself silly to celebrate...I'm trying to find some songs to help me ease the pain Just a few country ones so far: My Next 30 Years ~ Tim McGraw Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old) ~ Garth Brooks The Blues Man ~ Hank Williams Jr. (although I might skip this one because it reminds me of my dad...) Thoughts, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Why... Sinatra ~ It Was a Very Good Year When I was seventeen it was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights We'd hide from the lights on the village green When I was seventeen When I was twenty-one it was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair and it came undone When I was twenty-one When I was thirty-five it was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs, it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year It was a mess of good years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm kind of partial to that one from Sesame Street. I did it all by myself I know I'm getting bigger everyday And I did all by myself All by myself ...... (it kind of goes on like that for awhile .. catchy tune) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And dreamed of all the great things we would do Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance I´d see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!

Otokichi Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) Jerry Lee "The Killer" Lewis sums this subject up on his latest "Last Man Standing" CD duet with George Jones: "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age." :guitar: (And to think that I thought that the "Maggie O'Connell" character on "Northern Exposure" was going off the deep end in the "Northwest Passages" episode when she was about to hit the big three-zero way back in 1992.)

blind-fitter Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 "Help The Aged" - Pulp Help the aged; one time they were just like you, Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue. Help the aged, don't just put them in a home, Can't have much fun in there all on their own. Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind. Give them hope & give them comfort 'cos they're running out of time. *In the meantime we try. Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a feel. Funny how it all falls away. When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough. Funny how it all falls away. Help the aged, 'cos one day you'll be older too You might need someone who can pull you through And if you look very hard behind the lines upon their face you may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely place. [*Repeat] You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change. Can't run away from yourself, yourself... [*Repeat] Funny how it all falls away. [x3] So help the aged.

johnnyguitar Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 "Old Man" Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, Twenty four and there's so much more Live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two. Love lost, such a cost, Give me things that don't get lost. Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Lullabies, look in your eyes, Run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you. I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last. Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
