Mary Hopkin - When I Am Old One Day lyrics

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 pa** 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.
