Lonnie Brown - When I Get Old Lyrics

I need a year
So I can fix these wrongs I've made
Time won't let me forget my mistakes
The second hand that refused to yield
Each grain of sand makes tomorrow real
Yesterday became a memory too rapidly
Now tell me when I get old
Am I supposed to know
Just when to fight
When to let go
It's not easy like you made it seem
When I get old
Now I'm grasping at leaves as they fall to the ground
Out of fear for the day you're no longer around
Alone I'll only go so far
What will I do
Without you
The day you leave will always come too soon
Now tell me when I get old
Am I supposed to know
Just when to fight
When to let go
It's not easy like you made it seem
When I get old
And I want to know
When heaven is just one breath away
Can you tell me
Will I be afraid
