Il testo della I sleep easier now

Poets always speak of youth
With such admiration
But we all must face the truth--
Age has many a compensation.

When i was younger,
When i was younger
For nightlife i used to hunger.
I sleep easier now.

When i was cuter
When i was cuter
Each night, there's a different suitor.
I sleep easier now.

In the olden days at ten p.m.
I'd be necking in a hack.
But this evening when it's ten p.m.
You will find me hitting the sack.

When i was snappier,
When i was snappier
I made lots of boyfriends happier.
I sleep easier now
I sleep easier now.

When i was greener,
When i was greener
For late parties, i was keener
I sleep easier now.

When i was smaller,
When i was smaller

I sure entertained a caller
I sleep easier now.

In the olden days at ten p.m.
I'd be prancing every place.
But this evening when it's ten p.m.
I'll be putting grease on my face.

When i was prettier,
When i was prettier
In bed, i did not read whittier
I sleep easier now
I sleep easier now.

When i was thrilling,
When i was thrilling
I said no, but i was willing.
I sleep easier now.

When i was hopin',
When i was hopin'
I left all the doors wide open
I sleep easier now.

In the olden days at ten p.m.
I'd be leaping like a frog
But this evening when it's ten p.m.
I'll be but there cooling my dogs.

When i was dreamier,
When i was dreamier
I sleft with an old french premiere
I sleep easier now
I sleep easier now.
