Old & 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 deepest thoughts
You follow where i go
And oh when i'm old & wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if i knew you
I'd smile & say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when i'm old & 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, when i'm old & wise
Heavy words that tossed & blew me
Like autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist 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 & wise
As far as my eyes can see
