When one grows old......
When one grows old, and life is speeding past
Year follows year, each quicker than the last
When there's nothing new to look for
And the past is all that's left
Don't leave me lonely
If I must weep, then let my tears ease pain
And if my heart breaks, then comfort me again
Give me your strength
That I may walk erect
Don't leave me lonely
But if you go, and I am left awhile
Then go in peace, just leave me with your smile
And till we meet
I'll have my memories
I won't be lonely
