There she goes for the last time
Somewhere, where the stars don't shine
Her time came hen the trees got green
Two years of being ready and now she's free

We will be old in a heart beat
Still I know my heart will stay young
Places I will go and all the people I'll meet
I will have a story of what I've done
Before I'm gone

Like a bird, time flies by
First you lose someone and then you're married man
How I didn't see when her eyes lost their light
When her hair got grey, and then she didn't know my name

We will be old in a heart beat
Still I know my heart will stay young
Places I will go and all the people I'll meet
I will have a story of what I've done
Before I'm gone

So long my darling
All the words you said and all the things I've learned from you
So long my darling
I'll remember them the day I see you again

We will be old in a heart beat
Still I know my heart will stay young
Places I will go and all the people I'll meet
I will have a story of what I've done
Before I'm gone
