When You're Old and Lonely

When you're old and lonely

You will wish you'd married me

I could build a fire for you

And bring you cakes and teaWhen you're cold and hungry

I'll be waiting by the phone

You can call me up and

Tell me how you're all alone, all aloneWhen you're old and lonely

And the rush of life is past

Days go by too slowly and

The years go by too fastWhen your golden loneliness

Is heavier than stone

You can call me up and say

"My God, I'm all alone, all alone"
