Come Up the Years Lyrics
I ought to get going
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
A younger girl keeps hanging around
One of the loveliest I've ever found
Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart.
I ought to get going
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
The things she's doing keep turning me on
And I've been happy to go right along
I know it's time that I said goodbye
I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try.
I ought to get going
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
One of the loveliest I've ever found
Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart.
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
And I've been happy to go right along
I know it's time that I said goodbye
I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try.
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me love me
Written by Marty Balin about a young "teeny-bopper" girl (underage) who used to follow the band around during the early JA period (before Grace).
meaning a man in love with a younger girl nice sonng not pervertive at all like many think
Especially at the end with the tinkly instrument and the bass line, I hear a bit of inspiration for "Xanadu" by Rush.
