Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer

Someday you'll reach for me I won't be there

For you've grown tired of all the love I gave you

But someday you'll wish that I still care

All through the years how I have loved you and you know I claimed you for my own

Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer for someday you'll find yourself alone

[ steel ]

When your hair has turned from gold to silver

And your eyes are dimmed by passing years

You'll remember darling what I told you but there'll be no one to dry your tears

There'll come a time within your life dear when you'll need somebody who will care

Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer

For someday you'll find I won't be there
