I met a man who was not quite an old man Said he was an old boy I would make a toast to believe and bet you That I would be the same old man Not the kind with a lost soul Who can't put down his toys Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart And resolution in my soul So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised When I don't leave your side 'Cause there's not a single part of my love That you should not believe I hope when I grow old That you grow old with me I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies Because I love the left lane And I begged the pardon of the mass media You know on Sundays I don't go to mass And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your house, I'm waiting for a hurricane To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me who's gonna be here last So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised When I don't leave your side 'Cause there's not a single part of my love That you should not believe I hope when I grow old That you grow old with me I hope when I grow old That you grow old with me I hope when I grow old That you grow old with me
