The Songs About Getting Older

The Beatles "When I'm Sixty-Four"  has always been one of my favorites.  It was the first thing that came to mind when I read the question, especiality since I will turn 64 at the end of the month!

When I Grow Too Old to Dream - simple, beautiful and old fashioned!

The Memory Song by Tom Rush.  It always makes me laugh, even though I’m a bit sorry I can relate to it so well.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac sung beautifully by Stevie Nicks.

Wow, a lot of "Blasts from the Past" Thank you to you all for the great memories. Here's one to add: Eddie Money, "I want to go back" I always liked that song. Brings back very fond memories :-)

'My next 30 years' by Tim McGraw.

'I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord, have mercy on my next thirty years....

Oh, my next thirty years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life...
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here in my next thirty years...'
