When one grows old, and life is speeding past br Year follows year, each quicker than the last br When there's nothing new to look for br And the past is all that's left br br Don't leave me lonely br br If I must weep, then let my tears ease pain br And if my heart breaks, then comfort me again br Give me your strength br That I may walk erect br br Don't leave me lonely br br But if you go, and I am left awhile br Then go in peace, just leave me with your smile br And till we meet br I'll have my memories br br I won't be lonelybr br Hilda Bristowbr br
