When you were young you stunned the world
With gorgeous eyes and golden curls
The world was your stepping stool
Heads would turn, a wink would rule

But time has worn it’s weary way
and youth fades with each new day
you cover all to make things last
to gain one more look from the past

(Chorus)
Perfume doesn’t make you
As pretty as you think
Sometimes all it does
Is just make you stink
All you cover is the beauty within
You’d look so wonderful in rags and a grin

Life is more than wrinkled skin
Or graying hair or double chin
Or how big the house, the car
These are not who you are

It’s not about how you dressed
Or who you knew or who you impressed
You’ve earned your age, you’ve lived your life
don’t surrender to the knife

Chorus repeat

We’re not staring at your hair
Or the make up on your face
Our gasps are for
Some free air
and for some breathing space

Chorus repeat
