As  far as my eyes can see

There are shadows approaching me

And to those I left behind                                           

I wanted you to know                                             

You've always shared my deepest thoughts                                  

You'll follow where I go.

 

And oh oh, when I'm old and wise                                 

Bitter words mean little to me

Autumn winds will blow right through me                  

And someday in the mists of time                             

When they ask me if I knew you                          

I'd smile and say, you were a friend of  mine

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes

Oh, when I'm old and wise.

 

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows surrounding me

And to those I leave behind

I want you all to know

You've always shared my darkest hours

I'll miss you when I  go.

 

And oh oh, when I'm old and wise

Heavy words that tossed and blew me

Like autumn winds will blow right through me

And some day, in the mists of time                                 

When they ask you if you knew me

Remember that you were a friend of mine

As the final curtain falls before my eyes

Oh, when I'm old and wise.
