Lyrics[]
- When I was young I used to play by the firehouse after school each day
- had an old friend, that was way back when
- He had a wrinkled face and twinkling eyes
- and he used to take me fishing by the river side
- Everyday, come what may.
- He was oh so Old But ah so Wise
- He'd say "You're only as old as you feel inside"
- I learned many things from that old man
- Besides how to catch fish by the river bend
- How to keep a smile, for a good long while
- Yes life's like a fishing and he throws out his line
- Gets a pretty good catch not all the time
- I don't mind, he was strong and kind
- He was oh so Old But ah so Wise
- He'd say "You're only as old as you feel inside"
- Now I'm getting old as you can see
- But I'm happy with my grand kids on my knee
- when they say "Hey, tell me about the good old days"
- I think of my friends say "Life's like a train, keeps a runnin'
- down the track through the sun and rain"
- And the magic grows, when you come to know
- When you're oh so Old But ah so Wise
- You'll see you're only as old as you feel inside
- He was oh so Old But ah so Wise
- yeah you're only as old as you feel inside
