and then I was old

seems like it was so our time and

we were together,  hand and hand

 we held each other tight, made the cold nights

warm delight and the day night light and we   

we were together, and it was our time

every song that you played, would ring in my head

and I would sing that tune hoping that it was

part of us, or at least part of us and you together

But, that's all I had to hang on to, and something made me hang on

to and something made me hang on to

so i waited for you my careless love, to catch up

just one more time to be together , your touch, your so near

you say, "i was special, dear " and when she walked up and you turned and

and then your hand slip from mine and then your hand slipped from mine

And every time I think of you, those many years ago,  I think of your careless love

what you could have had, but how you let us go....

how you let us go

So seems like it was our time, and we were together, walking hand in hand

and held each other tight and the days turned into nights

and I waited for your love that was careless and cold and you left me

and let me go, like a flower you picked and then I got old

and then she got old....

we were together......

we were together  

and then I was old...
