~ Slowing Down ~
You say you just can not do
Things you usually do each day
And that you have no energy
To help you on your way
There are things you want to do
Oh, you want to do them bad
But you just can't seem to get them done
And that just makes you sad
I wish I was there with you, darling
For together we'd get through
We would help each other do the things
That we each wanted to do
We could take a walk together
And we'd stop and rest awhile
Then we would continue on our way
Till we finished up the mile
Oh, I know just how you're feeling
Yes, I've gotten there myself
No, it isn't any fun to feel
Your life's been put on a shelf
Sometimes I think that's God's own way
Of telling us to slow down
And we need to just accept things
Now, put a smile where there's a frown
Oh, I know it's hard, my darling
But there is one thing I hope,
That you'll feel free to call me
When you feel you just can't cope
So just relax, my sweet darling
And if I might be so bold
Maybe it's just a natural thing
Could it be we're getting old?
