Lyrics

Gray hairs in the mirror, lines around my eyes
Time's relentless march, no surprise
Half a century gone by in a blink
Standing on the edge, I stop to think

Is this where I thought I'd be?
At fifty, what's left to see?

Fifty years of laughter and tears
Fifty years of hopes and fears
We're halfway home, but the journey's not done
Fifty years, and we've only just begun

Photos in albums, memories fade
Children growing up, decisions made
Looking back at roads not taken
Forward to dreams not yet forsaken

Is this where I thought I'd be?
At fifty, what's left to see?

Fifty years of laughter and tears
Fifty years of hopes and fears
We're halfway home, but the journey's not done
Fifty years, and we've only just begun

Every wrinkle tells a story
Every scar a badge of glory
We're not young, but we're not old
There's still time for hearts of gold

Fifty years of laughter and tears
Fifty years of hopes and fears
The best is yet to come, you'll see
Fifty's just the start of you and me

im just a few songs behind you and many years ahead of you, and you get it right in tht last verse. the first fifty years are forgettable in relation to what comes after. (or maybe im just a late bloomer)

Sounds like this could fit on the Beatles White Album. The 50s are the last decade you can fake being youngish - after that, the pretense is over - lol! Super cool song. Congrats on 50 songs! Well done!
