Alan Parsons Project - Old And Wise -updated

Old and Wise
(Lead vocal - Colin Blunstone, Zombies - think "Tell Her No, She's Not There, Time Of The Season, etc)

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

Wow, 100,090 views! I cant believe ....thank you

[badgesett]

Thanks for posting this Jaydog.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Great lyrics, stunning vocals and a wonderful orchestral arrangement. In a word ...perfection.

Sadly there is always at least one negative comment which is totally undeserved.

[klokheten]

I can never overestimate the importance of this song in my life.

It has always meant comfort and peace.

The sheer beauty of both text and music is overwhelming.

And the gentle and noble voice of Colin makes the song an experience of real love.
