Being Me!
.
.
Because I’m sixty-three today, I’d like to make it clear,
That no one, condescendingly, had better call me “dear”!
I drink..I laugh..I even swear..I dance about with glee,
I might be getting older, but I’m happy to be me!

The years have left their toll, it’s true, I have a few gray hairs,
And there’s no doubt I’m slower getting up and down the stairs!
And there’s no doubt I’m slower getting up and down the stairs!
But in my heart I’m seventeen, and life is still a blast,
I greet each morn’ with joy renewed, and celebrate the past.
.
No canes for me, no rocking chair to glue me to TV.
There’s still so much I need to do, and even more to see.
I greet each morn’ with joy renewed, and celebrate the past.

No canes for me, no rocking chair to glue me to TV.
There’s still so much I need to do, and even more to see.
There’s always one more chance to be who I was meant to be,
To shout out loud that I’m still here…alive, much loved and free!
.
I’ll charge ahead and make each day a chance to do my part
To make this world a better place and offer up my heart.
To shout out loud that I’m still here…alive, much loved and free!
.
I’ll charge ahead and make each day a chance to do my part
To make this world a better place and offer up my heart.
So celebrate today with me, life’s much more than a clock.
Just watch me and I’ll prove to you that sixty-three can rock!
Just watch me and I’ll prove to you that sixty-three can rock!
