When
I said…
In time, when my hair has gone wispy and grey
When my youth like my hairline has scampered away
When my joints creak aloud any time that I move
When my musical taste isn’t quite in groove
Will you tolerate me whilst I idolise you
Will you still be my soulmate when these things are true
And then I said…
In time, when my tummy casts shade on my feet
When my teeth as a set are no longer complete
When I enter a room and I don’t recall why
When I can’t hear the TV unless it’s up high
When these things happen, when these things are true
Will you still want me… please answer me do
And she said…
Remember we stood with the rings we would give
We promised each other, “So long as we live”
How many times did our dotage occur to us
Well, it seems that in your case, the ‘When’ is superfluous
