When I Grow Too Old to Dream
Timeless Love: Hank Locklin's Reflection on a Lifetime of Dreams
Lyrics
We have been gay, going our way
We have enjoyed life, following our own path.
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
Our existence has been wonderful, filled with youthfulness.
After you've gone, life will go on
Even after your departure, life will continue.
Like an old song we have sung
Similar to a beloved, familiar song we've sung together.
When I grow too old to dream
As I age and lose the ability to dream,
I'll have you to remember
I'll hold onto memories of you.
When I grow too old to dream
When I reach old age and cannot dream,
Your love will live in my heart
Your love will remain within me.
So, kiss me my sweet
Therefore, kiss me affectionately,
And so let us part
Let's part ways in a loving manner.
And when I grow too old to dream
Even when I'm too old to dream,
That kiss will live in my heart
That kiss will remain etched in my heart.
And when I grow too old to dream
As I grow too old to dream,
That kiss will live in my heart
That cherished kiss will stay within my heart.
So, kiss me my sweet
Therefore, kiss me tenderly,
And so let us part
Let's part with affection.
And when I grow too old to dream
And as I age beyond dreaming,
That kiss will live in my heart
That cherished kiss will endure in my heart.
