Age has made her frail. I'm scared to take her in my arms. There's an understanding now – A peace behind the eyes. Age is for complaining, but you won't hear much from me Growing old with Naomi
Now I recall the first time I held her in my arms And times I was unfaithful…..she said "There's no future in the past" So we don't talk about it – She keeps a gentle edge on me And I don't mind. Growing old with Naomi
She wasn't all I wanted but she's all I'll ever need A rich man always wants more – and I was rich indeed! A rich man and a poor fool – yet it turned out right for me How lucky can you get! Growing old with Naomi
The kids today! They think that they discovered everything Well, me & her, we've done it all without a wedding ring And sometimes things remind us and she's smiling back at me It ain't hard, growing old with Naomi
She wasn't all I wanted but she's all I'll ever need A rich man and a poor fool – and I was rich indeed! I never thought her beautiful…..but I do now! 'cause I see I'm getting wiser! Growing old with Naomi
Well the place is kind of quiet now the kids have all left home We'd like to see more of them, when they're gone And in the quietness afterwards, she comes and sits by me And makes me feel like a man – Growing old with Naomi
And makes me feel like a man – Growing old with Naomi
