Thought Gettin' Older - Gaither Vocal Band

I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

It seems like the day before

Yesterday I was just a little snotty-nosed kid

That shock of hair that I had back there went away and hid

Yeah, it did

But I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

Well I’d have thought for sure Jesus would’ve come back by now

(Thought he would, thought he would)

I still believe someday I’ll see Him

Riding that big white horse through the clouds

I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid

Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

(They thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did)

And I hope I have a few more years before they close that lid

Ah, come on, Larry

We’ve had more fun already than I’d really like to admit

Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer

(He thought gettin' older would take a lot longer)

Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff

I’d thought by now I’d have more money than I do

(Thought he would, thought he would)

Oh, but God knows best, we’ve all been blessed

(with more than enough to see us through)

And I wouldn’t trade places with anyone else, heaven and God forbid

Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

Now this simple song is just two minutes long

Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid?

But it sure seems like it took a lot longer than it did

(Thank the Lord)
