The older I get, the less I chase The more I learn to slow my pace The nights are quiet, the days are kind And peace ain't something hard to find The older I get, the more I see It's not the gold, it's memory The laughter shared, the love we give That's what it means to really live Yeah, the older I get, the clearer it seems Used to think the world was mine Running fast just to beat the time Now I know, it's all just sand Slippin' through these gentle hands The older I get, the more I see It's not the gold, it's memory The laughter shared, the love we give That's what it means to really live Yeah, the older I get, the clearer it seems There's beauty in the simple things A porch light glow, a guitar string A sunset that don't need a name A quiet joy that feels the same The older I get, the less I need Just a heart that's warm, a soul that's freed If tomorrow comes or fades away I've had my share of golden days Yeah, the older I get... the better it seems.
