Dreams die first then love grows cold
And before we know it we're growing old.
Did you ever think when you were sixteen
how you'd hate to be thirty - one
But hours and days just keep slipping by

They are nothing but time's disguise
Dreams die first then love goes cold
And before we know it we're growing old
Dreams die first then love grows cold
And before we know it we're growing old.
