Standard (EADGBE)

 Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer

 Someday you'll reach for me I won't be there

 For you've grown tired of all the love I gave you

 But someday you'll wish that I still care.

All these years how I've loved you

 Still I know I claim you for my own

 Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer

 For someday you'll find yourself alone.

 When you hair has turned from Gold to Silver

 And your eyes are dimmed by passing years

 You'll remember darling what I told you

 There'll be no one then to dry your tears.

There'll come a time in your life dear

 When you'll need someone who will care

 Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer

 For someday you'll find that I'm not there.
