Its long past your Bed time and your still awake
You Blown out the candles on your Birthday Cake
Hard to believe you got so old, sleeping under the stars, Staying out in the cold
Still sat on the patio which faces the bay
We know where to find you on a summers day.
You love to consume a cold beer or two, Walking the downs enjoying the view.
Many a year have passed you by. You learned to love and laughed till you cry
Your Kids have grown and long left home, The locals think that your all alone
But you have companions 3 four legged Friends
A Lurcher A Lab An Alsatian
They keep you fit and young at heart, Pulling your arms out on the way to the park.
You set them free and off they run like sprinters after the starting gun
You whistle them back when your ready after heeding your call they come back steady
Life is for living and you know it for sure The welcome you get when the key meets the door
Your four legged friends are eager to greet, jumping for joy Its time to eat
Food disappears not touching the sides then sleeping it off until the sun rise
Each morning you wake come rain or shine Your invited for coffee but you decline
Gonna walk your dogs and get some fresh air after brushing their coats and removing dead hair
Plenty of time later for breakfast or brunch in the local tavern The Devils Punch
Since You retired not bothered with time and in no hurry to hear The Bells chime
Relaxed in mind body and soul, Off down the tavern to play rock n roll
A nap or snooze may be on the cards, A Game of Chess or maybe charades
Back down the lane Late afternoon While the Dogs are waiting You Whistle a tune
They hear your Heart beat From a Mile away, Up at the Window Looking over The Bay
Ready to run once more before dark. There favorite Place The local park
These days are our best these days are pure fun, These days together forever as one.
Old times Good Times Together we run These Days Together Forever as One.
Old Times Good Times together as one Old times Good Times Forever we'll run.
