Through the eyes of an older man
I watch the world and I understand
My heart's run dry the love it held
'Cause there's no one left to make it melt
The years go by and the time grows short
To find a love to save my heart
There must be another way to live a life
Besides day to day
My hopes grow dim as my eyes grow dark
My lack of love has left its mark
You may go but I must stay
And search for love till my dying day
The past haunts me with its emptiness
So many years without one caress
All my friends said they needed me
But they've left me now
It's plain to see
A hand to hold and a face to touch
I need a love so very much
Though I'm old, my heart is young
So I must search till my days are done
There's no words that can make you see
How deep in love I need to be
I must stick with the same old plan
For the love is life to an older man
