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 these years how I have loved you still I 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

[ piano - steel ]

When your hair has turned from gold to silver

And your eyes are dimmed by passing years

You'll remember darling that I told you there will be no one 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 wish that I was there
