She's a little more than a child herself   Than the children of her own   All her living's done for someone else   The only life she's ever known   All the dreams and desires that she had   She had to put 'em all on hold      While another young heart became an old soul      River of life keeps rushing by   She just rolls with the flow   She's seen it all through world weary eyes   She takes it like it comes and goes   She's forgotten more about life and love   Than most will ever know      While another young heart became an old soul      Laugh too little and you cry too much   Way too long without that gentle touch   Weight of the world resting down in your bones   Pretty soon you've got an old soul, old soul, old soul      Laugh too little and you cry too much   Way too long without that gentle touch   Weight of the world resting down in your bones   Pretty soon you've got an old soul, old soul, old soul
