Take Me Old

We consistently age
Forever changing
Take me old if you want me
Old if you want me
Take me old
Oh these youthful days
What was once now fading
Take me old if you want me
Old if you want me
Take me old
Because one day I may not have the cognitive ability
To even tie my shoes or reach to brush my teeth
And if you’re still with me and I keep you from getting sleep
Just know that I am grateful though those words I may not speak
And I may forget faces, names, our favourite memories
But know my heart is full and in it your love I will keep
But if I am too late to make it to the toilet seat
I’d do the same for you if it meant more time we could keep
Take me old
Take me old
Take me old
Take me old
