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
