When I Am Old One DayWhen I am old one dayChildren will laugh as I shuffle on by Resting with every 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 the hours go 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 Then he'll remember when I stood on the stage and I sang this song And maybe we'll both try then To remember the words and sing along When I am old one day When I am old one day, surrounded by pieces of long ago I will recall today and wonder where all the hours go When I am old one day |
