I'll be the one That stays 'til the end And I'll be the one That needs you again And I'll be the one that proposes In a garden of roses And truly loves you long after our curtain closes But will you still love me When nobody wants me around? When I turn 81 and forget things Will you still be proud? 'Cause I am the one Who has waited this long And I am the one That might get it wrong And I'll be the one that will love you The way I'm supposed to, girl But will you still love me When nobody wants me around, around? When I turn 81 and forget things Will you still be proud? Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments, see Me and my lack of new news Me and my selfishness Or me and myself wish you nothing but a happy new version of you 'Cause I, I, mm-mmh I want you to tell me You find it hard to be yourself So I can say it's gonna be alright And I want you to love me the way you love your family The way you love to show me what it's like to be happy
