Change the pronoun and that's the truth for many of us. Because if Willie can grow old and depart, then what hope is there for the rest of us?
I think I'll go with these lyrics from Australian rock band The Angels (paraphrased and borrowed from Charlie Chaplin) :

"I got to stop these tears that's falling from my eye
Go walk out in the rain, so no one sees me cry"

But my favorite version of the song is this acoustic version on a solo album by the lead singer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6YuWkI4kcs
