Lyrics Old People - Mark Lowry , Sonya Isaacs Yeary

They don't hurry, that's for sure
Get up early, but they don't have to anymore
They'll keep that old car shinning, even if it's just to drive it to the store

Or to that church they love, where they're the first ones through the door

Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get
A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet
There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles
Man I love, old people

She's got pictures, page after page
He's got stories, and a pocket full of change
"After all these years together... she's as beautiful as ever..."
That's what he'll say
When you see one, you can bet the other ain't far away

Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get
A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet
There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles
Man I love, old people

The more I watch them, more like 'em
I wanna be... less worried, more love
Sounds like they've got it figured out to me

Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get
A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet
There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles
Lord I love, old people
