As far as my eyes can see
|
There are shadows approaching me
|
And to those I left behind
|
I wanted you to know
|
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
|
You follow where I go
|
|
CHORUS
|
And oh when I'm old and wise
|
BItter words mean little to me
|
Autumn winds will blow right through me
|
And someday in the mist of time
|
When they asked me if I knew you
|
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
|
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
|
Oh when I'm old and wise
|
|
As far as my eyes can see
|
There are shadows surrounding me
|
And to those I leave behind
|
I want you all to know
|
You've always shared my darkest hours
|
I'll miss you when I go
|
|
CHORUS
|
And oh, when I'm old and wise
|
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
|
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
|
And someday in the mist of time
|
When they ask you if you knew me
|
Remember that you were a friend of mine
|
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
|
Oh when I'm old and wise
|
|
As far as my eyes can see
|
