Mitchell
I had a birthday and my friends all came
they brought a cake, some remembered my name
some young kids called me dad
never seen 'em in my life before.
I felt their tears when they kissed my face
said "don't be sad no more"
told stories 'bout me younger days
and life before the war.
Chrous:
I got no mirror so I see no pain
I'm happy as can be
the lines in my face will hold two days of rain
nine-teen going on ninety three
They keep me here to make the nurses smile
think I'll head home in a little while
my young bride she's waiting for me
in our love nest by the sea.
