The Years Go By

Oh how the years go by. I think of the times past.
I reminisce of good times, but they don\'t always last.

 

Oh how the years go by. I sit and contemplate.
In the mirror I stand and stare at this lonely face.

 

Oh how the years go by. I remember my first car.
I remember being full of pride thinking I\'m a star.

 

Oh how the years go by. I miss those who have died.
I think of them. I\'m missing them. A tear comes from my eye.

 

Oh how the years go by. My hair has now turned gray.
I\'m getting old and I feel frail; afraid I\'d see this day.

 

Oh how the years go by. I\'m now on my deathbed.
My strength has gone. I\'m so weak. I now lay back my head.

 

Oh how the years go by. I am about to cease.
I wave goodbye and close my eyes. I now shall rest in peace.
