Lyrics

I saw a man
He looked real old
I said how are you
He said well you know
A little bit older
Another day closer
I didn't ask
I went on my way
Tryin' to figure out
Why he'd say
A little bit older
Another day closer
I walked to the door
And he was there
He said young man
If you'd care to hear
From someone who's older
And another day closer
I'm sure you have
Thoughts in your head
Let me explain
Just why I said
A little bit older
Another day closer
Another day closer
To the pearly gates
And when I see
My maker face to face
Another day closer
To the streets of gold
And when my body
Is no longer old
Oh oh old
That's what I meant
When I said
Another day closer
I don't know why
He feels this way
Or what would cause
Him to say
A little bit older
Another day closer
Maybe he longs
For loved ones lost
He's happy when
Each day is done
A little bit older
Another day closer
He's another day closer
To the pearly gates
And when he sees
His maker face to face
Another day closer
To the streets of gold
And when his body
Is no longer old
Oh oh old
That's what he meant
When he said
Another day closer
He's another day closer
To the pearly gates
And when he sees
His maker face to face
Another day closer
To the streets of gold
And when his body
Is no longer old
Oh oh old
That's what he meant
When he said
Another day closer
That's what he meant
When he said
Another day closer
That's what he meant
When he said
Another day closer
