"I'd Never Thought I'd Live to be a Hundred" is a 1969 song by the progressive rock band The Moody Blues, from their album "To Our Children's Children's Children".
Written by Justin Hayward, the song is a short ballad about getting to do all of the things that other get to do. This realization makes the narrator seem like he is a hundred years old to himself, as he never thought he would be able to accomplish these things.
There is also a sequel to the song, titled "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Million." "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Million" is only half a minute long, and basically describes the same things as "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Hundred," except in this case, the narrator is a million.
