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 and 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 and say
you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be
lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm 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
You've always shared my
darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh
when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that
tossed and 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 frined of mine
As the final curtain falls
before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
