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; we have experienced the joys of youth
After you've gone, life will go on
After you have departed from my life, life will continue
Like an old song we have sung
Similar to an old familiar song that we have sung together
When I grow too old to dream
Anticipating a time in the future when aging prevents dreaming
I'll have you to remember
I will hold onto memories of you when I reach old age
When I grow too old to dream
Even in the elderly years, the love shared will endure in my heart
Your love will live in my heart
Your love will remain a significant part of my emotional core
So, kiss me my sweet
Expressing a farewell kiss with affection
And so let us part
Acknowledging the necessity of parting ways
And when I grow too old to dream
Repeating the theme of growing too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
Emphasizing that a particular kiss will endure in memory
And when I grow too old to dream
Reiterating the idea that the remembered kiss will persist
That kiss will live in my heart
Underscoring the lasting impact of a significant kiss in memory
So, kiss me my sweet
Repeating the farewell kiss as a poignant moment of parting
And so let us part
Reaffirming the inevitability of saying goodbye
And when I grow too old to dream
Once again addressing the prospect of aging and losing the ability to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
Stressing that the remembered kiss will endure in the heart despite aging
