[Verse 1]
When I am old one day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by
Resting with every stride
Believing that steps were never so high
[Verse 2]
When I am old one day
Surrounded by pieces of long ago
I will recall today
And wonder where all of the hours go
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
When I am old one day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by
Resting with every stride
Believing that steps were never so high
[Verse 2]
When I am old one day
Surrounded by pieces of long ago
I will recall today
And wonder where all of the hours go
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
