Letra When de Perry Como original

When, when beauty fades from view,
As worldly things will do,
My eyes will still see you . . .

When, when dreams turn old and gray,
And seem to slip away,
My dream of you will stay . . .

Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .

< instrumental break >

Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .

And when, when evening shadows fall,
And you are in my arms,
I love you most of all . . .

Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see . . . to fade
