 As far  as my  eyes  can see,

 And to those  I left be - hind,  I wanted  you to know,
 You've always  shared my deepest  thoughts, you'll follow  where  I go!
 And oh---oh,  when I'm old and wise,
 Bitter words mean little  to me,
 Autumn winds  will  blow right through me,
 And some---- day,  in the mists of time,
 When they ask 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  sur - rounding  me,
 And to those  I leave be - hind,  I want  you all to know,
 You've always  shared my darkest  hours, I'll  miss you when  I go!
 And oh---oh,  when I'm old and wise,
 Heavy words that tossed  and blew me,
 Like autumn winds,  will  blow right through  me,
 And some---- day,  in the mists of time,
 When they ask you  if you knew me,
 Re - member  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!
