It seemed to happen overnight
I never got a chance to put up a fight
I turned around, and that young guy disappeared
I turned back, and he has a gray head with a beard

I'm losing my hair, and my eyes are gone
It's taken a lifetime to write this song
It all started a few years back
but somehow I fell off the track

I can't remember what I used to know
I wonder where those memories go
It's all a mystery to me these days
It's hard to see through all of this haze

I'm losing my hair, and my eyes are gone
They told me about this, and they weren't wrong
They all said, " you wait and see "
I never thought it would happen to me

I feel the pain when I stand to my feet
If I move too fast, my heart skips a beat
I'm getting used to it; it's my way of life
We're a sight for sore eyes, yes, me and my wife

I'm losing my hair, and my eyes are gone
I used to do that, and it was so much fun
Those days are gone; they've passed me by
I know I can't, and yes, I've tried

There's no one to blame; this is all on me
Although there's blood in my veins with longevity
It would be nice to extend the stay
It will all come to an end; there's no other way

I'm losing my hair, and my eyes are gone
Don't count me out; I'm not finished with this song
I'll have more verses to lay down here
I'll keep them coming year after year

For everyone, I wish a long life of love
Live for others with the grace from above
Hold on to what you know is true
Make someone long to hold you

I'm losing my hair, and my eyes are gone
I don't see where I went wrong
I still have my family and friends
The love still grows, and there is no end

Yes, I don't see where I went wrong
I'm not finished with this song
When I am, you'll want to sing along
or maybe not, I could be wrong

I'm not finished with this song
