Lyrics
She grips her coffee cup tighter
As she attempts to grasp reality
Questions and doubts smite her
And she fears her own mortality
Her cup falls to the floor and shatters
She glares me in the eye, and she says
"I need to know this matters
Cause one day I will die
The spirit is willing
But the flesh is getting weaker every day
Weaker every day
WIll you still love me when I'm old
And will you be there when I'm wrinkled
And will you always be so bold
Or will your love for me grow cold
Will you still love me when I'm old"
Is this just a hit and miss
A quickly wedded fling, she says
"It's hard to commit to this
This should be a long term thing
The spirit is willing
But the flesh is getting weaker every day
Weaker every day
WIll you still love me when I'm old
And will you be there when I'm wrinkled
And will you always be so bold
Or will your love for me grow cold
Will you still love me when I'm old"
The years have passed so quickly
And the age invades her face, and she says
"I've just become so sickly
And one day I'll leave this place
But until then where are you
Until then where are you
Until then where are you
Now that I'm wrinkled, wrinkled, wrinkled
Wrinkled, wrinkled, wrinkled"
She says
She said
