I'm amazed how age had a way of creepin' up on me
It was only yesterday I was seventeen
But I wouldn't trade all the gray or memories
Cause then I would miss the life I've lived since seventeen

I liked it from the beginning Marvin and I could also hear Don Williams doing that song, but I could also hear George Strait

Marvin, you’ve got that earworm melody going on here and I love the line, “That when they close their eyes they feel inside like seventeen.” I can totally relate. I can hear Alan Jackson singing this song…

Thanks Jack! I believe Alan would be one of the few artists who would not be afraid to sing a song that deals with growing older. Thanks for listening pal.

I don’t know if you know who this is, But I could also hear Ronnie Milsap or Johnny Rodriguez and I know these guys are older now but that may be the key to seventeen

I'm amazed how age has seemed to creep up on me
It was only yesterday I was seventeen
Wearin' jeans that fit, oh where'd I get all that strength
It got away from me the further I got away from seventeen
There's not much I haven't tried since I was seventeen
I'm not as confused as I used to be or as naive
But I'll never understand just how a man who's lived like me
Could ever keep a woman like her past seventeen
I wonder what happened to the friends I had at seventeen
And if they became all of the things that they dreamed
Do they hold every hug a little longer, and believe like me
That when they close their eyes they feel inside like seventeen
Jokes aren't as funny as the old ones were
I've never gotten used to being called sir
Today I'd rather spend my time with her...
The woman I've loved since I was seventeen
I'm amazed how age had a way of creepin' up on me
It was only yesterday I was seventeen
But I wouldn't trade all the gray or memories
Cause then I would miss the life I've lived since seventeen
But I'm still amazed how age seemed to creep up on me

Hey Marvin, nice song definitely something I can relate to. This has a nice melody and the music has a nice feel to it though it felt like it should be a love song more than a sad reflective song. Lyrically there was some nice imagery. I really dug the song, the only 2 things that kinda stuck out were, it has been done quite a bit so I was hoping for something from a unique perspective and also, you lost me a bit on the bridge type section, I felt the lyrics in there could have been a little stronger. Im not even sure that this song needed one for me personally. Overall it was still a fantastic job and I absolutely enjoyed listening to it!
