0:28When I am old and comforted
0:34And done with this desire
0:36With memory to share my bed
0:42When I am old and comforted
0:44And done with this desire
0:48With peace to share my fire
0:51I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands
1:08Beneath my laundered cap
1:15And watch my cool and fragile hands
1:23Lie light upon my lap
1:25And I will have a sprigged gown
1:30With lace to kiss my throat
1:33I'll draw my curtain to the town
1:37And hum a purring note
1:42And I'll forget the way of tears
1:47And rock and stir my tea
1:49But oh I wish those blessed years
1:55Were further than they be
1:58And I will have a sprigged gown
2:09With lace to kiss my throat
2:16I'll draw my curtain to the town
2:34And hum a purring note
2:49When I am old and comforted
2:58And done with this desire
3:45With memory to share my bed
3:53When I am old and comforted
3:59And done with this desire
4:12With peace to share my fire
4:18With peace to share my fire
When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With memory to share my bed When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With peace to share my fire I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands Beneath my laundered cap And watch my cool and fragile hands Lie light upon my lap And I will have a sprigged gown With lace to kiss my throat I'll draw my curtain to the town And hum a purring note And I'll forget the way of tears And rock and stir my tea But oh I wish those blessed years Were further than they be And I will have a sprigged gown With lace to kiss my throat I'll draw my curtain to the town And hum a purring note When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With memory to share my bed When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With peace to share my fire With peace to share my fire
