Before Growing Old

[Intro] [Verse 1] When you are old and gone away Will you remember me today With youth still in my eyes And wild hair across my face? When you are old and gone from me Will you remember how I speak With that confidence of children And that noble lack of sleep? When you’re old and someone new Will you think of how my shoes All tattered drag themselves beside you As we’re walking home from school? [Bridge] Been making myself                So sick with the truth             But I realize now                Our lovе is made of youth [Chorus] When we grow up         I will brеak my promises and you’ll fall out of love We will not grow old           together [Verse 2] When you’re aged and away Will you think of me the day That we skipped a day of classes To act like lovers in the rain? And when you’re taken by the years Will you recall me thus my dear A skinny figure at your doorway Legs like spindles stiff with fear? And when we’ve up and grown apart Will you remember how the art Used to fall out of my fingers Into sketchbooks in the park? [Bridge] And I’m aging my soul          I’m so high-strung         ’Cause I realize now           This kind of love is for the young [Chorus] When we grow up         I will break my promises and you’ll fall out of love We will not grow old           together [Verse 3] And now I’m old and gone away I still remember how your face Shone with youth and love and confidence That you would always stay
