Intro :         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 follow where I go      And oooooooh    when I'm old and wise   Bitter words mean little to me   Autumn wids will blow right through me And someday    in the midst of time   When they asked me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And sadness would be lifted from my eyes      Oh ! when I'm old and wise 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 darkest hours I'll miss you when I go      And oooooooh    when I'm old and wise   Heavy words that tossed and blew me   Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday  in the mist of time   When they asked you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtains falls before my eyes      Oh ! when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see                             (Ad libitum)
