Old Vinny

Old Vinny is at war with aging with light brown dye he covers his gray
And he is well over the fifty one who has seen a better day
And he has been down a bit lately not much happiness in his life
He feels bored with the world around him and bored with his aging ex wife.

He fell for Sue in her mid twenties but for him she had little time
She told him you are too old for me and you are way beyond your prime
And anyway I love my lover and I would not two time on Ted
But Vinny by her beauty smitten though he never will share her bed.

Old Vinny feels crushed by her rebuff for him it is so hard to take
He finds it so hard to forget her there is so much pain in love-ache
But that's something he must come to terms with though Sue's picture still hangs on his bedroom wall
Still nothing seems to last forever and time the best healer of all.

He and his wife Lyn separated under the one roof the new man in her life is Kim
Though Vinny is not one bit jealous he only says good luck to them
By Sue's refusal he feels shattered though not everything in life goes to plan
And though to him 'tis not a consolation he lost out to the younger man.
