Текст песни When I am Old One Day - Mary Hopkin

When I am old one day
Children will laugh as I shuffle on by
Resting with every stride
Believing that steps were never so high
When I am old one day, surrounded by pieces of long ago
I will recall today and wonder where all the hours go
Will I sit in the park, time on my hands
To soak up the sun, or will I have made my mark
And still have some things that have to be done
Will I talk to the air
Mumbling phrases to shadows
That hide with people who stop to stare
And wonder just who I see at my side
When I am old one day
Watching the children playing their game
Someone may pass my way
And look at my face
And call out my name
Then he′ll remember when
I stood on the stage and I sang this song
And maybe we'll both try then
To remember the words and sing along
When I am old one day
When I am old one day, surrounded by pieces of long ago
I will recall today and wonder where all the hours go
When I am old one day
