When I am old one day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by,
Resting with ev’ry stride
Believing that steps were never so high
When I am old one day
Surrounded by pieces of long ago
I will recall today,
And wonder where all of the hours go
When I am old one day.
Will I sit in the park
Time on my hands to soak up the sun
Or will I have made my mark
And still have some things that have to be done.
Will I talk to the air
Mumbling phrases to shadows that hide
With people who stop to stare
And wonder just who I see at my side.
When I am old one day
Watching the children playing their game,
Someone may pass my way,
And look at my face and call out my name
And then he’ll remember when
I stood on the stage and sang this song
And maybe we’ll both try then
To remember the words and sing along
When I am old one day.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
