I’m Glad I’m Not Young Anymore (Live) Lyrics by Laura Benanti

In Constant Search of the Right Kind of Attention (Live at 54 Below)

2013

How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The rivals that don't exist at all
The feeling you're only two feet tall
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self-delusion
That when you're telling those lies
He isn't wise
And even if love comes through the door
The kind that goes on forevermore
Forevermore is shorter than before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore
The tiny remark that tortures you
The fear that your friends won't like him too
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The longing to end the stale affair
Until you find out he doesn't care
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I
No aggravation
Just one reluctant reply
"Darling, goodbye!"
The Fountain of Youth is dull as paint
Methuselah is my patron saint
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore
(spoken)
Thank you! Todd Almond played the accordion, you guys. 
[Todd Almond, spoken]
That's friendship, Laura. 
[Laura Benanti, spoken]
That is friendship. That is love.
