Story Behind The Song
With replacement knees and a pacemaker I am testing the limits of science and aging but each time my lovely wife is near I realize that our love is timeless and exciting!
Song Description
As we get older our mind still remembers our bodies as youthful. It still envisions that we can play hockey or high jump and run the 100 yard dash. As we age it becomes clear that the mind is willing but the body ain't. But when it comes to love, you never get old!

Lyrics
This Old Body
This old body forged by sunshine and rain
This old body tempered by pleasure and pain
This old body would love to run and jump again
This old body has been a friend, has been a good good friend
But when this body gets close to you
There's wonderful things this body can do
Oh, I know you feel it too
Oh, it's true, it's true
This old body used to tumble and play
This old body's got hair that's turning grey
This old body would love to run and jump again
But that was another day, another day, another day
But when this body gets close to you
There's wonderful things this body can do
Oh, I know you feel it too
Oh, it's true, it's true, it's true
But when this body gets close to you
I can feel the love come flowing through
Oh, I know you feel it too
Oh, it's true, it's true, it's true
This old body's been through good times and bad
This old body has lost some of the moves that it had
This old body has towed the line
This old body has had a good good time
But when this body gets close to you
There's wonderful things this body can do
Oh, I know you feel it too
Oh, it's true, it's true
