Jenkins


As I approach the prime of my
life
I find I have the time of my
life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All
the simple pleasures
And so I happily
concede
That this is all I ask
This is all
I need

Beautiful girls, walk a little
slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets,
stay a little longer with the lonely
sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad
men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange,
enchanted land grown-ups seldom
understand

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit
of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky,
make my wish come true before the night has
flown
And let the music play as long as
there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger
than Spring
