Please live to be an old man
To be an old man, to be an old man
Please live to be an old man
To be an old man
My love is deepest for you
Deepest for you
My love is deepest for you
So, please live to be an old man
To be an old man
Please live to be an old man
Swim with me among the waves
Among the waves
Times sets us free, among the waves
Among the waves
My love is deepest for you
Deepest for you
So, please live to be an old man
One day, I'll open my heart
Open my heart
Someday, I will open my heart
And swim free among the waves
Where my love is deepest for you
So, please live to be an old man
To be an old man
Please live to be an old man
To be an old man, to be an old man
To be an old man, to be an old man
To be an old man, to be an old man
To be an old man
