I Swore I'd Never Get Old.

I said I'd never grow old,
The story has been told.
Look at me 80 years on,
Where did i go wrong?

I tried to stay young, and sweet,
Smiled at everyone I'd meet.
Never took a day for granted..
The seeds of youth were planted..

But look at me, on my dead bed,
Still not taking back anything i said.
Because in heaven I'll be 20,
Not the old girl that you see...

Not the old girl that you see.

Got four daughters and a son,
In between, trying to stay young.
Wrinkle creams,
Saucy dreams..
But i still grew old...
ooh... the stories been told..

But look at me, Lying here,
Look at me.. death drawing near.
I swore I'd never.. get this far..
Swore I'd always be a star..

I swore I'd never get this far..

Got four daughters and a son,
In between, trying to stay young.
Wrinkle creams,
Saucy dreams..
But i still grew old...
ooh... the stories been told..

Oh and my final words, are..
I swore I'd never get this far..
I never wanna grow old i said,
But here i am 80 years and dead...

I swore.. and pleaded with god, to never become like my mum..

But now I've got 4 daughters and a son..

Got four daughters and a son,
In between, trying to stay young.
Wrinkle creams,
Saucy dreams..
But i still grew old...
ooh... the stories been told..

Look at me..Look at how old i got,
I told them, if i got wrinkles i should be shot...
But they didn't have the courage to shoot me in the head..
Now 80 years on... 80 years on I'm dead...

Got four daughters and a son,
In between, trying to stay young.
Wrinkle creams,
Saucy dreams..
But i still grew old...
ooh... the stories been told..

So the stories been told...
I guess everyone gets old!
