C#m E
When I am old, and comforted,
B A
And done with this desire,
C#m Ab
With memory to share my bed
C#m E
When I am old, and comforted,
B A
And done with this desire,
C#m Ab C#m
With peace to share my fire
C#m E B A
I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands
C#m Ab
Beneath my laundered cap,
C#m E B A
And watch my cool and fragile hands
C#m Ab C#m
Lie light upon my lap.
B E
And I will have a sprigged gown
B E
With lace to kiss my throat;
B E
I'll draw my curtain to the town,
Ab
And hum a purring note.
C#m E B A
And I'll forget the way of tears,

C#m Ab
And rock, and stir my tea.
C#m E B A
But oh, I wish those blessed years
C#m Ab C#m
Were further than they be
B E
And I will have a sprigged gown
B E
With lace to kiss my throat;
B E
I'll draw my curtain to the town,
Ab
And hum a purring note.
C#m E
When I am old, and comforted,
B A
And done with this desire,
C#m Ab
With memory to share my bed
C#m E
When I am old, and comforted,
B A
And done with this desire,
C#m Ab C#m
With peace to share my fire
C#m Ab C#m
With peace to share my fire
