When I Am Old One Day Lyrics
When I am old one day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by
Pausing 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 of 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

And 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
