throughout the passing years
as all the world seems ever changing
we share the smiles and tears
of life with love that's so far ranging

and after all is said and done
i'll be the one beside you
i'll be your love and loyal friend
until the end beside you

each flower bends with time
each leaf descends with every autumn
but you and i will find
our love won't die or be forgotten

chorus

when you and i are grey
when youth has gone and life is dimming
i promise that i'll stay
beside you like we were beginning

chorus
