When your young life's a waltz, a sweetheart serenade
You shimmy and you sway in a bright masquerade
But when the tempo shifts and the years start to show
The dance steps change, but there's no need to go slow
Middle age is a song with verses rich and wise
It whispers about the past with a twinkle in its eyes
Not just sepia tones or a clock's weary chime
But a smooth, steady rhythm, the sweet cadence of time
So here's to the love songs we've learned as we've grown
Heartaches and backaches like friends we've known
We'll dance with the memories, laugh at the age
Life's melody unfolding on life's grand stage
We've stepped through jitterbugs, waltzes and blues
Found wisdom in wrinkles and comfort in news
Ditch the cracking high notes for a soothing low hum
And embrace the middle age for the encore's yet to come
Now don't fear the days as they roll on and on
Every line on your face is a verse in our song
The bridge may seem long, but that's the charm of a tune
It sways like a crescent under a nostalgic moon
So pour another glass, raise a toast to the time
To lovers we've been and the poets who rhyme
Embrace each grey hair, each laugh line in sight
For middle age dances 'neath the sultry moonlight
So pour another glass, raise a toast to the time
To lovers we've been and the poets who rhyme
Embrace each grey hair, each laugh line in sight
For middle age dances 'neath the sultry moonlight
