LYRICS

Someday you’ll call my name and I won’t answer
Someday you’ll reach for me I won’t be there
For you’ve grown tired of all the love I gave you
But someday you’ll wish that I still care.
All these years how I’ve loved you
Still I know I claim you for my own
Someday you’ll call my name and I won’t answer
For someday you’ll find yourself alone.
When you hair has turned from Gold to Silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
You’ll remember darling what I told you
There’ll be no one then to dry your tears.
There’ll come a time in your life dear
When you’ll need someone who will care
Someday you’ll call my name and I won’t answer
For someday you’ll find that I’m not there.
