It's an up hill battle and a down hill age
But don't say I didn't try
I wrote I love you on about every page
And someday will come when you see goodbye

Old men shouldn't write love letters
That's for the young at heart to have such treasures
Now social security is my only wage
It's an up hill battle and a down hill age

The tears upon my cheek missing you is what they speak
It could be that never again we meet
I wrote I love you on about every page
Forgive me now as it's an up hill battle and a down hill age
