Songs of Getting Older

Carrickfergus: Van Morrison & The Chieftains, others.  (A sad Irish folk ballad wherein the singer laments his roving life, and is now older and sick with his days numbered.  “I’m drunk today and seldom sober” but once a handsome rover).

Yesterday once more, Carpenters

These Days: Jackson Browne

Photographs and memories, Jim Croce

Oh Very Young: Cat Stevens (life is fleeting)

“I Won’t Grow Up”  Mary Martin (sung as Peter Pan)

I believe in put this in twice? 🤔

“I Won’t Grow Up”  Mary Martin (sung as Peter Pan)

September - Sarah Vaughan

“Oh, it's a long, long while
From May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September

Circle of life, Sir Elton

The Boxer: S&G  (a probable repeat, but too lazy to look)

Now the years are rolling by me

They are rocking easily

I am older than I once was

And younger than I’ll be

But that’s not unusual

No, it isn’t strange

After changes upon changes

We are more or less the same
