Everyone Gets Older Lyrics

Patty Smyth Everyone Gets Older

Just a word to signify
The passing of each day and night
'Cause it's done at the speed of light
The years fly by and out of sight

I tell myself as I go to sleep
We all make promises we can't keep

Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older

I might as well related to
What is done and left to do
Sometimes I just cannot see it through
To find a place or thing to do

When every effort seems incomplete
We all make promises we can't keep

Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes it's true
And I don't even know what I am suppose to do
'Cause everyone gets older

Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older

Wait, must be something I don't see
Maybe something we don't need
Well, there's gotta be it

You know when I find out
I'm gonna piece this together
There's gotta be something to
Forever and ever, forever and ever

Now, I'll do anything to get some sleep
I just don't wanna have to repeat

Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes it's true
And I don't even know what I am suppose to do
'Cause everyone gets older

Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older

Everyone gets older
I don't even know what this is suppose to be
