Verse 1:
In my fifties now, and I’ve found my peace,
With the boy I was and the man I’ve released,
We’ve forgiven each other for being alone,
And learned that some dreams just take longer to grow.
Chorus:
Oh, the days have flown by,
Like the leaves in the breeze,
But the roots that we've planted,
Bring us sweet memories.
Verse 2:
I've wandered through valleys,
And climbed the high hills,
With the shadows behind me,
I've embraced what life feels.
Chorus:
Oh, the days have flown by,
Like the leaves in the breeze,
But the roots that we've planted,
Bring us sweet memories.
Bridge:
Time is a river, flowing fast and slow,
Tears that we've cried turn into stars that glow,
With every mistake, there's a lesson to learn,
In the fire of love, we ignite, we burn.
Chorus:
Oh, the days have flown by,
Like the leaves in the breeze,
But the roots that we've planted,
Bring us sweet memories.
Outro:
So here’s to the moments, to the love that we’ve known,
In my fifties now, with the grace I’ve grown,
Embracing the journey, forever we’ll be,
With the boy I was and the man I’ve released.

In my fifties now, and I’ve found my peace, With the boy I was and the man I’ve released, We’ve forgiven each other for being alone, And learned that some dreams just take longer to grow.
