Glenn Lyrics

Just worrying over you
I'm getting old and it's a crime
To treat me the way you do
I'm getting old before my time
I need a crutch and a cane
Overs had some rings for a dime
We planned to get married
About ten years ago
You stalled and you tarried
You wouldn't say “yes” and you wouldn't say “no”
I'm getting old before my time
Someday I'll feel like new
That's when we'll hear the preacher speak
And I'll belong to you
We planned to get married
About ten years ago
You stalled and you tarried
You wouldn't say “yes” and you wouldn't say “no”
I'm getting old my bones just creak
Someday I'll feel like new
That's when we'll hear the preacher speak
And I'll belong to you
And I'll belong to you
The lyrics of Glenn Frey's song "I'm Getting Old Before My Time" deal with the feelings of sadness and frustration that come with waiting for someone who cannot commit to a relationship. The singer is getting old prematurely, worrying and waiting for the person they love to say "yes" to their proposal of marriage. They feel like they need a crutch and a cane to move on with life because they are stuck waiting for something that may never come. The lyrics express a desire for resolution, a longing to belong to someone, and an acknowledgment of the emotional toll that waiting can take on a person.
The lyrics are relatable because most people have experienced the pain of waiting for someone who cannot commit, and the feeling of aging before their time because of the stress and uncertainty of the situation. The song is a poignant reminder that time waits for no one, and that sometimes we have to make difficult decisions to move on with our lives.

As a therapist I can tell you that there is a huge increase in depression and anxiety, more so than I have seen in the past 25 years. People are scared, worried and lost. They are so thirsty that they are drinking whatever they are told will quench their thirst. God have mercy and help us.

@Geo Bossthat response was uncalled for. Besides so what if they do have lot of money. That’s a good thing they probably earned it by working honestly for it.

God bless you Glenn for bringing this to us and this wonderful calming minister. I actually got down on my knees during the final prayer and found myself with tears. May God bless each and every one of us.
