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 these years how I've loved you
Still I know I claim you for my own
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
For someday you'll find yourself a lone.

When you hair has turned from gold to silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
You'll remember, darling, what I told you
There'll be no one then to dry your tears.

There'll come a time in your life dear
When you'll need someone who will care
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
For someday you'll find that I'm not there...
