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? Been making myself So sick with the truth But I realize now Our love is made of youth When we grow up I will break my promises And you'll fall out of love We will not grow old together When you're aged and awake 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? And I'm aging my soul I'm so high-strung 'Cause I realize now This kind of love is for the young And when we grow up I will break my promises And you'll fall out of love We will not grow old together 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
