Song by Jerry Abbott, lyrics read by Welles, music by The Ray Charles Singers and the Nick Perito Orchestra .. Lyrics : <br />When we are young age has no meaning <br />I never gave it a second thought <br />until one day along came this old man <br />and this is what he said to me <br />and this is what he said to me <br /> <br />I know what it is to be young <br />but you,you don't know what it is to be old <br />someday, you'll be saying the same thing <br />time takes away so the story is told <br /> <br />I've asked so many questions <br />to the wise men i've met <br />couldn't find all the answers <br />no one has as yet. <br />There'll be days to remember <br />full of laughter and tears <br />after summer, comes winter and so go the years <br />So my friend.. <br />lets make music together <br />I'll play the old while you sing me the new <br />In time when your young days are over <br />there'll be some one sharing their time with you <br /> <br />I know what it is to be young <br />but you,you don't know what it is to be old <br /> <br />So my friend.. <br />lets make music together <br />I'll play the old while you sing me the new <br />In time when your young days are over <br />there'll be some one sharing their time with you <br /> <br />there'll be some one sharing their time with you
