Subject: RE: Lyr Req: It's only if you'll love me when I'm old
Maybe you are looking for this one:

"Will You Love Me When I'm Old?"

Life's morn will soon be waning
And its evening bells be tolled
But my heart shall know no sadness
If you love me when I'm old.

Your love I know is truthful
But the truest love grows cold.
It is this that I would ask you,
Will you love me when I'm old?

Down the stream of life together
We are sailing side by side
Hoping some bright day to anchor
Safe beyond the surging tide.

Today our sky is cloudless
But the night may clouds unfold
Though the storms may gather 'round us
Will you love me when I'm old?

When my hair shall shame the snowdrift
And mine eyes shall dimmer grow
I would lean upon some loved one
Through the valley as I go.

I would claim of you a promise
Worth to me a world of gold
It is only this my darling
That you love me when I'm old.

I would ask of you, my darling,
A question soft and low
It is only this, my darling
Will you love me when I'm old?

It is only this my darling
Will you love me when I'm old?
