A #1 cover song about seeing your wrinkles and accepting growing old. I took a very short song by the Stranglers (off their 2021 album Dark Matters) and gave it my own arrangement and doubled the length. It's a beautiful song and I can relate to it.

Lyrics
The Lines (On My Face)
Written By Jean-Jacques Burnel, Jim Macaulay, Dave Greenfield, Baz Warne
This one was my mom
This one my papa
This one when the kids stayed out too late
In their first car
If you were to trace
The lines on my face
This one was from drinkin'
These two are from smokin'
Those were my divorce
When everyone was fighting
There's no hiding place
For the lines on my face
BREAK
These are for the laughter
I'll take to the hereafter
Creases made by frowns
I've had my ups and downs
There's triumph and disgrace
In the lines on my face
These are for the smiles
When I look upon your face
BREAK
These are for the smiles
When I look upon your face.....
