When I was young I fell in love
What was it I was thinking of
The curly hair, the handsome face
A trip to some romantic place !
Before I knew it children came
It made me grey and changed the game
We grew up fast it had to be
But oh such joy, a family !
The years rolled past now all are grown
Those children gone their seeds are sown
While old age creeps upon the stage
This empty nest is all the rage !
