My Days Are Numbered

I fear the days are coming soon
All my favorites gone
Nothing to which I'll attune
None left to sing the song

The fifties are a distant past
The artists now are few
Sedaka, Anka still with us
Their way is hard to do

Now sixties have some pioneers
That really hit with me
They really touched my listening ears
But rarely do we see

Elton, retired from the road
His keys are silent still
And Rivers also having slowed
The seats no longer filled

My days are numbered, that I fear
Interest has waned
The acts began to disappear
And now I'm feeling pained

I cannot follow those today
Who deign to take the stage
Their talent may be on display
Guess I'm just showing age

Where will I be when all my faves
Have finally retired?
I must rely on the airwaves
For those I had admired
