Intro :
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows ap proaching me
And to those I left be hind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
/
And ooooo ooh when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn wids will blow right through me
And somed ay in the midst of t ime
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And sadness would be lifted from my eyes
/
Oh ! when I'm old and wise
As f ar as my e yes can s ee
There are shadows ap proaching me
And to those I left be hind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
/
And ooooo ooh when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And somed ay in the mist of t ime
When they asked you if you knew me
Re member that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtains falls before my eyes
/
Oh ! when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
