And I know how it should be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I’m goin’ blind

‘Cause, I think I’m goin’ blind
And I know how it’s to be, yeah

Little lady, can’t you see
You’re so young and so much different than I
I’m 93, you’re sixteen
Can’t you see I’m goin’ blind

‘Cause, I think I’m goin’ blind
And I know how it’s to be, yeah

‘Cause, I think I’m goin’ blind
And I know how it’s to be, yeah

You’re much younger, can’t you see
There is nothing more for you and I
I’m 93, you’re sixteen
And I think I’m goin’ blind

Yes, I think I’m goin’ blind
And I know how it’s to be, yeah
