When You Are Old

| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | When you are old, and tired and grey, And wear your over - coat on sunny days, When your brave tales have all been told, I'll ask for them... when you are old! When you are old, and full of sleep, And death no longer makes you weep, When your body aches with cold, I'll warm your heart... when you are old! And you'll still be the same to me, A comfort, and a myster - y, And I will be old too, you see, I'll need someone... to comfort me! | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | When you are old, and pale and gaunt, And a gentle hand... is all you want, I will give you mine to hold, I'll be here... when you are old, Oh, I will give you mine to hold, I'll be here... when you-------- are old------! ) | / / / / | / / / / | / ||
