First Line: When my hair is thin and gray
Last Line: Love me truly and sincere.
Subject(s): Aging; Love
When my hair is thin and gray,
When there's wrinkles on my brow;
When my eyes are dim, and when
Feeble is my step and slow,
This one question I would ask,
This one question, sweetheart, dear,
Will you love me then as now,
Love me truly and sincere.
