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 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
