And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Expresses doubt about being able to provide the same level of care or support as before.
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Ponders whether the emotional connection will remain intact despite physical changes.
Will your eyes still smile from your cheek?
Questions if the partner's expressions of happiness will persist over time.
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're seventy

And baby, my heart could still fall as hard at twenty-three

And the crowds don't remember my name
