When I Am Old One Day

When I am old one Day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by
Resting with ev'ry Stride
Believing that steps were never so high
When I am old one Day, surrounded by Pieces is long ago
I will recall today and wonder where all the hours go.

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.

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.

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.

And then he'll remember when
I stood on the Stage and I sang this song
And maybe we'll both try then
To remember the Words and sing along
When I am old one Day.
