*the Grey Old Man* (I'll sing a happy song) #1.. I met myself a grey old man,many years ago...tho his body was bent , his spirit seemed to soar,so I stoped him on the street..I said I had to know,the secret that you have of growing old ... #2.. His eyes seemed to dance,and he laughed right out loud..his trembling old hand,pushed his hat back from his brow...A crowd seemed to gather as he leaned on his cane...here's what the old man had to say...(chorus)...I'll sing,a happy song today....I'll laugh,I'll take some time to play... I'll sing...even in the rain you know, I'll sing such a happy song today *.....(bridge)...he said..."people seem to think that life is like the rain...always falling down.,...to me its more the sound of a merry-go-round..what goes around comes around.....and around and a round." ...# 3 ... He shuffled right on by me,and did a little step....he winked at the ladies,tiped his hat to the rest...strolled down to the corner,turned with a pause...smiled...and he was Gone ! ..... # 4 ..and now that he's gone I fondly recall,and I think I *more* than understand....to try to find that song ,in everthing I do ?..to keep alive a boy in the man.....sooooooooooooooooooooo ( chorus)..I'll sing a happy song today....I'll laugh,I'll take some time to play....I'll sing,even in the rain you know...I'll sing such a happy song today.. ! ! !

You know better. You are a poet (bard) so you will to look for yourself all your life. You are not able to be with any woman for a long time, but women dream about to be the one who can be with you. I wish you good luck and to find her.
