Through the eyes of an older man I watch the world and I understand My heart's run dry the love it held 'Cause there's no one left to make it melt The years go by and the time grows short To find a love to save my heart There must be another way to live a life Besides day to day My hopes grow dim as my eyes grow dark My lack of love has left its mark You may go but I must stay And search for love till my dying day The past haunts me with its emptiness So many years without one caress All my friends said they needed me But they've left me now It's plain to see A hand to hold and a face to touch I need a love so very much Though I'm old, my heart is young So I must search till my days are done There's no words that can make you see How deep in love I need to be I must stick with the same old plan For the love is life to an older man
