Ninety Years Old - DAN HILL

I know it’s time

For you to let go

I can’t hold you back

I’ve already tried that

You made up your mind

To leave this world

To be ninety years old

And still a little girl

When I was young

You were my world

And my galaxy

Nothing it seems

Could break down the lock

Between a boy and his mother

It’s beauty unfurled

When you’re ninety years old

And just a little girl

I already miss you, I know

It’s time for me to let go

Time for you to lay down and sleep

I don’t know where that leaves me

All that I know

Is I could never let you go

Even though you’re ninety years old

It’s with your voice I sing

All the music you bring

On and on and on

Let it play till you’re gone

What do I do with all this love?

Now that you’re no longer here

It’s all secrets and swirls

When you’re ninety years old

And still a little girl

Oh, just a little girl
