My Youth Is Escaping Me

Oh man, overwhelming Even God would've cried Cuz you're walking over water like a dream Suddenly the things around you colored green And the day's almost over now And the sun's fallen through the trees I'm older than you can see My youth is escaping me You can know and still not understand What a smile's to a broken man It's not what you thought it'd be My youth is escaping me Oh no, happy birthday Oh my, where's the time Cuz you wanna stop and rest a little while But the marathon to run's a hundred miles And the day's almost over now And the sun's fallen through the trees I'm older than you can see My youth is escaping me What's a wave to a grain of sand What's a smile to a broken man You're older than you can see My youth is escaping me
