One day we'll see the northern lights Shine through the Windows of our home We'll dance around the different rooms & Listen to our favorite Song One day we'll laugh bout stupid things we did when we were Young One day when we're old and gray One day we'll talk bout how we met & all the corny things we said One day we'll fight then go to Bed Wish we apologised instead We'll Sort It just like we've done Oh Time & time again One day when we're old and gray One day when we're old and gray One day when we're old and gray One day we'll bore the kids to sleep With stories that we've told before One day well Drive to our old homes to show our kids where we grew Up We'll Talk about the changing times & Their generation's flaws One day when we're old and gray One day our kids Will leave our home To live their lives & Chase their dreams One day we'll call them all to ask If they'll be home this Christmas Eve One day we'll get to hear the news To meet our own grankids Oh one day when where old and gray Watching life go by Like Sand Slipping through our fingetips Together we'll be hand in hand Oh one day when where old and gray Watching life go by Like Sand Slipping through our fingetips Together we'll be hand in hand To my future wife, to whom I write this crazy song I don't know you yet But I'll be waiting for your call I'll say your name ask you: what took you so long? Oh one day when we're old and gray
