Forty And Fadin Lyrics

He looked in the mirror, while he was shaving this morning

The gray in his hair and the lines in his face gave a warning

As he stands face to face with the man that everyone sees,

He whispers "It's hell to be forty and fading, but feeling like you're 23".

When the young ladies look, they still get that gleam in their eye

He's got money to burn, but that's one thing he don't have to buy

And last night he proved you're as young as you let yourself be...

He may look like he's forty and fading, but she made him feel 23.

He thinks it's a shame that God wasted youth on the young

Because your life's halfway over before you learn how it's done.

But he's living a life that most younger mens eyes never see

Everyone thinks that he's forty and fading, but inside he's still 23.

They say it's hell to be forty and fading, from now on it's all downhill,

But he don't believe it, cause life is worth living, and he's just beginning to live.

As long as there's ladies who need a good lovin', that's where he's gonna be

He may look like he's forty and fading, but inside he's still 23.
