Too Old to Retire (Still Got Fire) by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025

*(Verse 1)*
Silver strands, wrinkles showin’
Years drift by like a river flowin’ 
Hair shines in morning light
Time moves soft, taking flight 
Still I step, still I run 
The best is yet to come…

*(Pre-Chorus)*
Every strand, a story spun
Every line, a road well run
But don’t be fooled by silver attire—
Too old to retire, still got fire…
Still got fire…

*(Chorus)*
Too old to retire, still got fire
Dreams don’t fade, they just climb higher
Silver in my hair, wisdom in my stride
Still got spark, still got drive
Too old to retire—I'm just gettin’ inspired…
Just gettin’ inspired….

*(Verse 2 )*
The older we get, joy still calls
Sunset’s glow still gently falls 
They say slow down, but my soul’s still wired
Burning slow, yet never tired 
Through it all, I’ve just begun— 
The best is yet to come…

*(Pre-Chorus)*
Every strand, a story spun
Every line, a road well run
But don’t be fooled by silver attire—
I’m too old to retire, still got fire…
Still got fire…

*(Chorus)*
Too old to retire, still got fire
Dreams don’t fade, they just climb higher
Silver in my hair, wisdom in my stride
Still got spark, still got drive
Too old to retire—I'm just gettin’ inspired…
Just gettin’ inspired….

*(Bridge)*
Time may fade, but I won’t tire
Life’s still burning with deep desire 
Let ‘em ask, I won’t retire— 
Too old to retire, still got fire… 
Too old to retire, still get inspired… 
Still get inspired…

*(Outro)*
Too old to retire—still got fire!
Too BOLD to expire—still got fire!
Every day I climb higher—still got fire!
Yeah, I’m too old to retire…
Still got fire, still get inspired…
Too old to retire……
