I Will Be Here Still

When we’ve sung all that we have to sing
and we no longer have the words…
When we’ve travelled all across the world
like beautiful, flightless birds,
I will be here still.

When we’ve drunk in every pub in soho 
to last us a lifetime…
And we’ve laughed down every cobbled street 
with your hand placed in mine,
I will be here still.

When our little boy grows to be a man
and learns the wonders of life’s romance…
And we’ve watched his children’s children
sing and laugh and dance,
I will be here still.

When your hair turns from light to grey
and no longer has youth’s shine…
When you’ve seen a thousand starry nights
to fade the sparkle in your eye,
I will journey with you until the end;

Until we are but fragile figures
I will lie with you at your side
Until your voice becomes a whisper,
And I will love you still.
