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 through these years how I have loved you still I know I claimed you for my own
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer for someday you'll find yourself alone
[ piano - steel ]
When your hair has turned from gold to silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
You'll remember darling that I told you there will be no one 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 wish that I was there
