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
Youve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
oh oh oh when Im old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
Someday in the mist of time
When they ask me if I knew you
I tried to say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when Im old and 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
Youve always shared my darkest hours
Ill miss you when I go
Oh oh oh when Im old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and grew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
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 Im old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
