When you are old and tired and gray
|
Wear you overcoat on sunny days
|
When your brave tales have all been told
|
I'll ask for them when you are old
|
|
When you are old and full of sleep
|
And death no longer makes you weep
|
When your body aches with cold
|
I'll warm your heart when you are old
|
|
You'll still be the same to me
|
A comfort and a mystery
|
And I will be old too see
|
I'll need someone to comfort me
|
|
When you are old and pale and gone
|
And a gentle hand is all you want
|
I will give you mine to hold
|
And I'll be here when you are old
|
Yes I will give you mine to hold
|
And I'll be here when you are old
|
|
