THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE; WE'RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS.
WE'RE NOT SIX FEET UNDER, TODAY IS NOT OUR LAST.
WE MAY HAVE SENIOR MOMENTS, -CAUSE THE MEMORY'S GOING FAST.
BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FIFTY, THERE'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW,
THE EYE SIGHT FADES, THE HEARING FAILS, AND WHEN WE SNEEZE THE BLADDER GOES.
THE WALK BECOMES A SHUFFLE. THE BATHROOM'S NOW OUR FRIEND.,
BECAUSE WITHOUT A SINGLE WARNING, YOUR'VE GOT TO GO AGAIN.
THE WRINKLES IN THE MIRROR JUST CAN'T BE ON MY FACE.
I THINK A STRANGER'S IN THE HOUSE -CAUSE MY THINGS GET OUT OF PLACE.
WE WAKE UP WITH THE CHICKENS. WE'RE IN THE BED BY EIGHT.
WE WANT OUR SENIOR DISCOUNT. WE WORRY ABOUT OUR WEIGHT.
WE CAN'T BE IN A HURRY, OUR PACE IS LIKE A SNAIL.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR MORNING IS WHEN WE GET THE MAIL.
WE EAT THE EARLY BIRD SPECIAL -CAUSE WE DON'T DRIVE AT NIGHT.
AND ABOUT THE HAIR, IT'S NOT GREY, IT'S JUST GOTTEN WHITE.
WE'RE UP ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WE SNORE.
AMD WHEN FRIENDS ASK HOW WE'RE DOING, WE LET THEM KNOW THE SCORE.
SO, TOMORROW, IF YOU WAKE UP WITH A PAIN YOU CANNOT BEAR, LIFT IT UP TO GOD ABOVE AND SAY-THIS HUMBLE LITTLE PRAYER.
LORD, HEAL MY ACHING BODY, HELP MY FEEBLE MIND.
HANDLE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS, SLOW THE HAND OF TIME.
THOUGH I LOOK INTO THE MIRROW AND DON'T LIKE WHAT I SEE GIVE ME THE STRENGTH, LORD JESUS TO BE EVERYTHING I CAN BE.
WE'LL ONE DAY BE WITH JESUS, AND OUR BODIES WILL BE WHOLE.
THE LORD'S WITH US TOMORROW, DON'T WORRY ABOUT GETTING OLD.
