YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG
Dear Lord, I have finally found some ease
It's taken me so many years
To see what was always in front of me
Your love for me has brought me to my knees
Dear Lord - please, please forgive me
Let the years roll on
Time is life on a straight line
No time for sadness - it's time to be strong
I did so many things that were really dumb
youth is wasted on the young
All that is said is already done
Let the time roll on
Live and learn Live and learn
Life passes you by
No time to sit and ask why
God gave me an Angel that stood by my side
Who helped me one day at a time
I have survived the booze and the drugs
And just plain bad luck
Youth is wasted on the young
Angel by my side
We have grown older together
And little wiser
There's a little gray in my hair
As I looked into the mirror
There are lines in my face
That have been to so many places
And seen so many things
Angel by my side
Where have the years gone by?
Let the years roll on
Lord you have made me strong
The peace I feel is a welcomed change
Dear God, you have blessed me with old age
All that I ever wanted was always in front of me
Blinded by youth that just couldn't see
Thank you Lord I am finally free!
