Someday you'll [f] call my name and i won't [bb] answer
Someday you'll [f] reach for me i won't be [c7] there
For you've grown [f] tired of all the love i [bb] gave you
But some-[f] day you'll [c7] wish that i still [f] care.

[c7] all these years how i've [f] loved you
Still i [g] know i claim you for my [c7] own
Someday you'll [f] call my name and i won't [bb] answer
For some-[f] day you'll [c7] find yourself a-[f] lone.

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.
