What do you see when you're looking my way?
An old man with hair of gray.
What do you think when I stumble or fall,
Or get lost in thought, despite of it all.
(Chorus)
This is me, you see
Locked in this frame.
The young man that was
Can't be here again.
But I can still recall,
When I was still young
So please, look at me
Before life is done.
Do you see the bright young man,
Fresh out of school,
Headed to college
To learn the new rule.
(Chorus)
Or the man and his new wife
Heading out to start a new life.
Did you see his children
He nourished and fed
Or do you ignore them
Because of this old man instead.
It's your turn now to see to my needs
To watch and clean me after I eat.
(Chorus)
This is me, you see
Locked in this frame.
The young man that was
Can't be here again.
But I can still recall,
When I was still young
So please, look at me
Before life is done.
