You were 41
And we lived in a house at the end of the street
Long days in the sun
Singing Elton John on the backseat
I knew who I was
'Cause you were mine and I was yours
When I was small
When you were 52
I gave you hell but I didn't mean it
Deep down I knew
Whatever I did you would forgive it
I knew that you loved me
And never doubted that at all
When I was small
But when did you get old
So far down that road
But was it that you needed me
To be grown
When did you start to be
Not too good on your feet
'Cause I'm not ready yet
To be alone
When did you get old
When you were 64
I was living in a house at the end of the street
Two kids of my own
When they needed answers they asked me
I'm still too afraid
To see myself that way I fall
I still feel small
But when did you get old
So far down that road
And was it that you needed me
To be grown
When did you start to be
Not too good on your feet
'Cause I'm not ready yet
To be alone
When did you get scared to walk home when it's late
Got so tired in bed by 8pm
Leave the light on when you read
Never tell me what you mean
Got so shaky on your bones
Never go too far from home
Say don't worry, I'm okay
You wouldn't tell me anyway
Now your 75
I don't get to see you as much as I should
And every single goodbye
Is a little bit hard 'cause I've understood
That time it gets wasted
We can't go back once it has faded
And life takes hold
But when did you get old
