Premium Member Will You Tie My Shoes When I Grow Old
You were beautiful, 
my tiny child, 
wrapped tightly in my arms, 
close to my heart.
I listened to you breathing.
I counted your fingers
and your toes.
Helpless, 
you cried out to me
and I loved you
with every ounce of my soul.

Will you hear me
when I cry out? 
Will you...

Premium Member Don'T Grow Old, Daddy
How could you get old, Daddy?
That's not supposed to happen
I'm your little girl
I can't see the stooped shoulders
I can't see the ravages of time, Daddy
Please don't get old

You were larger than life to me
Your word was gospel truth
I'd sit on your lap and fall to...

Grow Old With Me
Breathless beauty shine bright tonight

 my loving arms will hold you tight

no wind, no storm, no evil tide

will whisk you away from my side

I'll fly you to a land where eagles soar 

where mountains climb from the shore

guide you to a meadow where nature plays

where...

As We Grow Old
The man I dream of,
is tender but strong,
and I will be the music,
to the words of his song.

His eyes will give comfort,
as I talk of my day,
and I will listen completely,
to all he will say.

A hand to hold,
a heart of gold,
together,
as we grow old....

When I Grow Old
When I grow old
Will I forget to remember
All my regrets?
Will I be kind to myself
With memories
Of a universe of time
Forfeited to fear?
When I grow old
Will phantoms fog my eyes
Will ancient ghosts sing me lullabies 
Until I fall away Into dreams
Now mournful and cold?
Will I find...

Grow Old With Me
My dear,
There's nowhere I'd rather be,
Than by your side,
As you grow old with me.

I know we fight and carry on,
We wield our swords for all to see,
But darling I do love you so,
Settle in and please grow old with me.

When twilight sets and our bones...

Let's Grow Old Together
Let’s grow old together,
So that we will be close to each other.
Let’s grow old together,
So that we will be richer.
Let’s grow old together,
So that we will see each other.
Let’s grow old together,
So that our families will be forever.
Let’s grow old together,
So that our vision becomes...

I Wanna Grow Old With You
I wanna grow old with you

I wanna see ourselves together

Still holding hands tightly

Even in the midst of parting.

 

I wanna grow old with you

I wanna feel the warmth of your smile

Still burning brightly

Even we know its dimming.

 

I wanna grow old with you

I wanna cling...

I Would Like To Grow Old With You
I would like to grow
old with you,
Let the years pass
by,
I want to know you,
and you to know me.

I want you to be
your friends'
as much as you are
mine,
and I want you to be
mine
as much as you are
your friends'.

Let us live
so that we learn
about the life,
and to...

You Will Never Grow Old
The day starts with your name 
the nights in your thoughts 
Our intense romantic vision
Like  the glimmering lakes 
mesmerised by your phrase ;
I cling to your verse 
You will never grow old in your soul 
The diverse elements of art Mingles with your poetry
Your...

When I Grow Old
I will grow old
I tremble in the cold
None to care
I have nothing to fear...

But my love is alive
Though I strive
Beautiful roses to pluck
Yet I am stuck..

I grow old with wrinkle
Yet I will kinker
You will always remain in my mind
This is how you will find......

If I Shall Grow Old 2k13
If these eyes shall become blinded, and if this
hair shall come to be combed thinly and grey;
No, it would not be the end of the world.
I would still see beauty therein this world through
the songs of Crickets and Feathered Songsters.
The breeze would yet whisper and...
