ROBBIE WILLIAMS - OLD BEFORE I DIE
She's Taking Me Places
I Should Never Have Been
She's Showin' Me Faces
I Should Never Have Seen
Well These Are Strange Days We're Livin' In Today
Cest La Vie I Say
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
I Hope I Live To Relive The Days Gone By
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
But Tonight I'm Gonna Live For Today
So Come Along For The Ride
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
She's Not Feeling Stable
She's Unable To Breathe
Her Heart's Beating Faster
So I'll Ask Her To Leave
These Are Strange Days We're Livin' In Today
Am I Straight Or Gay
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
I Hope I Live To See The Day
The Pope Gets High
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
Well Tonight I'm Gonna Live For Today
So Come Along For The Ride
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
Well These Are Strange Days We're Livin' In Today
Cest La Vie I Say, I Say, I Say
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
I Hope I Live To Relive The Days Gone By
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
But Tonight I'm Gonna Live For Today
So Come Along For The Ride
I Hope I'm Old Before I Die
Old Before I Die
Old Before
Old Before
Old Before I Die
Old Before I Die
