Big Sky City Lights - When All Our Hair Turns Gray

Youth they say is squandered on the young
That's why they call it youth my son
When you're old you're wise
But some say fire inside your heart dies
But not in mine
Love's the higher law but we are wild
All's fair in love and war my child
Hearts beat black and blue
And every now and then they break in two
But not with you
Cuz after all the years blow by
Your eyes will still make me feel high
Through the bar room haze of bygone days
And one day we'll smile and tell
Of singing songs and ringing bells
When all our hair turns gray
Life is not a game of win or lose
Not every choice is yours to choose
Hopes too long to list
You take your swings and half the time you miss
But that's not this
Cuz after all the years blow by
Your eyes will still make me feel high
And we'll kiss the ghost of yesterday
And one day we'll smile and tell
Of singing songs and ringing bells
When all our hair turns gray
And reach for me when
You begin to fear your heart might start to disappear
And hold me near
All we have and ever will and ever did
Is always right now and right here
Time's a river flowing through this world
And it only runs one way sweet girl
Winding aimlessly
And leading to an ocean we can't see
So swim with me
Cuz after all the years blow by
Your eyes will still make me feel high
From our porch swing hideaway
And one day we'll smile and tell
Of singing songs and ringing bells
When all our hair turns gray
When all our hair turns gray
