I released this track originally back in December, 2011. Found it again, added an acoustic guitar track, and remixed it slightly. Then reposted in 2015.
lyrics
For more than sixty years
You’ve been telling me
I’ve got to take it slow
I’m not that kind of man
There’s no way that I can
Take it slow
Nobody knows that like you
Nobody knows what to do
When I get this way
Nobody but you
For more than sixty years
We set the table for two
And friends that came by
Now the kids set their own
We often talk on the phone
And the years roll by
CHORUS
When I learned to fly
First rumbled into the sky
It was a solo flight
The engine clear and bright
And up above the clouds
Beneath the stratosphere
I could hear
A future clear and bright
Leading me on my flight
Through the years
