When I grow old and I cannot see
When the darkness closes in on me
Will you be the eyes that I will need?
When I grow old and cannot see
And when I grow old and I lose my breath
When it pains me just to climb the steps
Will you be the air that I will need?
When I grow old and cannot breathe
And when I am old an in repose
And the years have left my need exposed
And the girl that you had sworn to love
Has now become an old woman
But I am not old yet and I can't see how
Things will be other than they are now
But I am not afraid as time unfolds
If you will stay with me as I grow old
Please stay with me as we grow old
