When I Grow Too Old to Dream
Timeless Love: Embracing Memories in the Lyrics of 'When I Grow Too Old to Dream'
Lyrics
We have been gay, going our way
We have been happy, following our own path
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
Life has been wonderful, and we have experienced the joy of youth
After you've gone, life will go on
After you have left or departed, life will continue
Like an old song we have sung
Our experiences together will linger in memory like an old familiar song
When I grow too old to dream
Anticipating a future when the speaker is too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
Even in old age, the memories of the loved one will be cherished
When I grow too old to dream
Reiterating the idea that love will endure as one grows too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
The love shared will be a lasting presence in the speaker's heart
So, kiss me my sweet
An affectionate plea to the loved one to share a final kiss
And so let us part
A recognition that parting is inevitable
And when I grow too old to dream
Reflecting on a time in the future when dreaming may no longer be possible
That kiss will live in my heart
The memory of a kiss will remain alive in the speaker's heart
And when I grow too old to dream
Repeating the sentiment that a lasting memory will be the kiss when dreaming is no longer feasible
That kiss will live in my heart
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the kiss in the speaker's heart
So, kiss me my sweet
A repetition of the plea for a final kiss before parting
And so let us part
A recognition that parting is inevitable, echoing earlier sentiments
And when I grow too old to dream
Reiterating the idea that the memory of the kiss will endure as one grows too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
Concluding with the affirmation that the kiss will live on in the speaker's heart
