My dear, you're aging, I see,
Beautifully,
Just like the very best wine.
Not sixteen, you're a beautiful forty-nine.
And when I'm holding you tight
All trough the night,
I pray you'll always be mine.
Not sixteen, you're a beautiful forty-nine.

Bridge:

You're the love of my autumn years,
Helping me to dispel my fears.
Life's too sort; no time for tears.
We're not getting any younger, dear.

When you're sexy and sweet
My heart skips a beat,
Just like the very first time.
Not sixteen, you're a beautiful forty-nine.
But when I'm too close to you
I cannot do
Things that require a clear mind.
Not sixteen, you're a beautiful forty-nine.

Bridge

Tell me, what would I do,
Here without you?
This world I'd simply resign.
Not sixteen, you're a beautiful forty-nine.
