I will not sing this for you when you're old and grey I will sing it for you now you're young This song will creep up on you, blow your blues away When your day's work is done It's not a song about love It's not a song about hate It's not a song about being here too early Or getting there too late It's not a song for little children Without food upon their plate It's a just a song for you darling I will not play this for you when you're past your best I will play it for you now you're in your prime I will take your photograph, I will hold it to my chest And I'll keep it in this pocket for a time It's not a song about war It's not a song about death It's not a song about the sweet red wine, I Feel upon your breath It's not a song for all the love I gave you When I had nothing left It's a just a song for you darling Monday we will sail our ships and Tuesday we will fly Wednesday we will learn to dance, Thursday we will try To get some sleep so we can stay up, Friday night we cry It's a just a song for you darling [Instrumental] I will sing this for you in the morning sun I will sing it for you in the evening glow I will not sing this for you just before you come I will sing it for you just before I go It's not a song about war It's not a song about death It's not a song about the sweet red wine, I Feel upon your breath It's not a song for all the love I gave you When I had nothing left It's a just a song for you darling Monday we will go to work and Tuesday we will play Wednesday we'll find a beach, lie around all day The sun upon your shoulders, eyes misty from the spray It's a just a song for you darling It's not a song about love It's not a song about hate It's not a song about being here too early Or getting there too late It's not a song for any children Without food upon their plate It's a just a song for you darling
