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 p-ss 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.
