I don’t know how long I’ll love you
I don’t know how long you’ll feel the same
Baby you’re gonna get older
your skin will sag more everyday
oh but don't start feeling sad
not even if I can’t love you like that
‘cause tonight we’ve got something special
so come on come out and play.
Those wrinkles are gonna get deeper
as they spread all over your face
you’re gonna start seeing grey in the mirror
as you begin to put on weight
You’re knees will ache and your feet will hurt
and you won’t dance like you can today.
but not yet not yet not yet not yet
so come on come out and play
Now I might lose a tooth or two
and my hair will fade away,
I'll stoop I'll shuffle I'll start to smell
as I grow slower every day
I don’t expect you to love me like that
and I’ll never ask you to stay
oh but tonight we've got something special
so come on come out and play
Oh the night will grow old much sooner than you
so come on come out and play.
