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
 You've always shared my deepest thoughts
 You follow where I go
 And oh, oh, when I'm old and wise
 Bitter words mean little to me
 Autumn winds will blow right through me
 And someday in the midst of time
 When they ask 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, oh, when I'm old and wise
 Heavy words that tossed and blew me
 Like autumn winds, will blow right through me
 And someday in the midst 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 I'm old and wise
 As far as my eyes can see
