"Time" written by Shel Silverstein. Recorded by Bobby Bare and the Old Dogs (Bobby Bare, Jerry Reed, Waylon jennings and Mel Tillis) on the 1998 album "Old Dogs Vol. 2)...lyrics...
This last song is a slow song.
It's about time...
Ain't the snow falling just a bit deeper these days?
Ain't they building the stairs a bit steeper these days?
And the town's really changed in so many ways
Time... just time
And the young folks, they're growing exceptionally tall
Newspaper print, it's becoming so small
And folks talk so soft, you can barely hear at all
Time... just time
And the jokes aren't as witty as the old jokes once were
And the girls ain't half as pretty as I remember her
And today in the park, a grown man called me sir
Time... just time
Mmmm,mmm,mm
Mmmm,mmm,mmm,mm
And you know I ain't quite so anxious now for fame or success
And my eye finds the girl, in the plain simple dress
And I cling a bit longer to each warm caress
Time... just time
So it takes a bit longer to walk up a hill
What of it?, my life now, is much more fulfilled
But they're tearing down buildings that I watched them build
Time... time
That's lovely.

@teeger66 Thanks teeger. It does have some sentimentality that only can be appreicated with age. Something I'm becoming all too familiar with :)
