As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You′ve always shared
my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh when I′m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked 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 surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You′ve always shared
my darkest hours
I′ll miss you when I go
And oh when I′m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
like Autumn winds
will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember 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
