Lyrics
We have been gay, going our way
We have been joyful, following our own path
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
Life has been delightful, and we have experienced youth
After you've gone, life will go on
After you're no longer with me, life will continue
Like an old song we have sung
Similar to an old song we used to sing
When I grow too old to dream
Anticipating a time when aging prevents dreaming
I'll have you to remember
I'll cherish memories of you
When I grow too old to dream
As I age and can't dream, your love will endure in my heart
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
Request for a farewell kiss, expressing affection
And so let us part
Acceptance of parting as a natural course
And when I grow too old to dream
Reflecting on a future when dreaming becomes impossible
That kiss will live in my heart
The memory of the farewell kiss will endure in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
Reiteration of the lasting impact of the farewell kiss
That kiss will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
Request for a final sweet kiss before parting
And so let us part
Acceptance of the impending separation
And when I grow too old to dream
Anticipating the enduring impact of the farewell kiss in old age
That kiss will live in my heart
