When I Am Old One Day

Will I sit in the park, time on my hands to soak up the sun…
or will I have made my mark, and still have some things that have to be done?

Lyric? [spoiler]

When I am old one day,
children will laugh as I shuffle on by,
resting with every stride,
believing that steps were never so high.

When I am old one day,
surrounded by pieces of long ago,
I will recall today,
and wonder where all of the hours go.

Will I sit in the park,
time on my hands to soak up the sun,
or will I have made my mark,
and still have some things that have to be done.

Will I talk to the air,
mumbling phrases to shadows that hide
with people who stop to stare
and wonder just who I see at my side.

When I am old one day,
watching the children playing their game,
someone may pass my way,
and look at my face,
and call out my name.

Then he’ll remember when
I stood on the stage and I sang this song,
and maybe we’ll both try then,
to remember the words and sing along.

When I am old one day.

Oh how I love this song.. and her voice. And now I know the singer who sang the song that I almost always played with my electone. “Those were the days, my friend…”

When I am old one day… I wish I don’t have to regret something like, “akh, I should’ve done that when I was younger..” ;p. So, it’s better to do everything that I could do now.

Okay, now.. let’s start with.. doing everything that I should do first >.<
