At My Age
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Fred Bogert

Looking in the mirror, I’m face to face with time.
I see it in my shadows, I see it in my smile.
Mapping out my future, how could I have known.
The losses life would hand me, the ways that I have grown.
The dreams that I once nurtured have all died.
I don’t know how to capture what’s missing in my life.

I still need someone, to want me at my age.
To hold my hand, dry my tears, listen to my dreams.
One more chapter, turn the page.
To find a life with meaning at my age.

I once believed in fairy tales, in only black and white.
A mom, a dad, a family, a sense of wrong and right
Now I am a puzzle with some pieces left behind.
To the vision of my future, sometimes I feel so blind.
In the willows of my childhood, we made castles in the air.
I’m looking back and longing for the times when we would dare.
I still need someone, to want me at my age.
To hold my hand, dry my tears, listen to my dreams.
One more chapter, turn the page.
To find a life with meaning at my age.

Time goes by a mile a minute.
Don’t know why, but I’m still in it.

I still need someone, to want me at my age.
To hold my hand, dry my tears listen to my dreams.
One more chapter, turn the page.
To find a life with meaning at my age.
I’m still looking for the meaning at my age.
