LYRIC OF THE WEEK
Week of August 8, 2004
As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows approaching me
    And to those I left behind
    I wanted you to know
    You've always shared my deepest thoughts
    You follow where I go

    And oh when I'm old and wise
    Bitter words mean little to me
    Autumn winds will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they asked me if I knew you
    I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
    And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise

    As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows surrounding me
    And to those I leave behind
    I want you all to know
    You've always shared my darkest hours
    I'll miss you when I go

    And oh, when I'm old and wise
    Heavy words that tossed and blew me
    Like autumn winds that will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they ask you if you knew me
    Remember that you were a frined of mine
    As the final curtain falls before my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise

    As far as my eyes can see...
