When I grow old and I cannot see
when the darkness closes in on me
will you be the eyses that I will need?
when I grow old and cannot see
And when I grow old and I lose my breath
when it pains me just to climb the steps
will you be the air that I will need?
When I grow old and cannnot breathe
And when I am old an in repose
and the years have left my need exposed
and the girl that you had sworn to love
has now become an old woman
(Solo:)
but I am not old yet and I can't see how
things will be other than they are now
but I  am not afraid as time unfolds
if you will stay with me as I grow old
please stay with me as we grow old
