Morning Songs: Episode 8 - The Second Half is Better

Week 2. Day 1. I'm back with another week of Morning Songs. This time around it will only last 5 days. The theme of this week is, "getting old." This first song is about a man looking to enjoy the 2nd half of his life more than he did his first. It's a song about a middle-aged lonely man who finally understands the mistakes he's made, and he's ready to begin his life again, and at a much slower pace. He's going to take some time to smell the roses. Hope you like.

The Second Half is Better

take my hand
and understand
it'll all make sense in the end

we're all grown up
got a half full cup
but i'd hate drink alone again

and we'll take our time getting old
the second half is better i'm told

lets run away
and leave the race
oh i'd hate to waste another second of the day

lets free our minds
do what we like
we got a whole nother life to try

and we'll take our time getting old
the 2nd half is better i'm told

oh yeah take my hand
i need a friend
someone I can lean on til the end

If you'll agree
i believe
we could both feel younger again

and we'll take our time getting old
the 2nd half is better i'm told

yeah we'll take our time getting old
the 2nd half is better i'm told
the 2nd half is better i'm told

Agree with you kushy. Great work Blake. Beautiful song.

And great advice, for me personally. Unless I'm living till 110 I think I'm somewhere in the third quarter (I Hope) or later. Mrs. Hogwallop and I are looking forward to "smelling the roses" at the Wilmington and Bethlehem shows in a couple of weeks.

Lovely song. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week. (Actually, I'm a little scared that you'll hit too close to the bone, considering the theme. Be kind, Blake!)
