Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
After you've gone, life will go on
Like an old song we have sung
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
The lyrics of "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" express a sentimental longing for the present moment, which is cherished and valued deeply. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who is aware that they will age, and eventually they will not be able to experience life in the same way as they do now. The verse "We have been gay, going our way, life has been beautiful, we have been young" refers to the joy and beauty that has been experienced in the present. The phrase "After you've gone, life will go on, like an old song we have sung" implies that life will continue after they have gone but the memories of the present will remain.
The chorus of the song reflects on the love shared between lovers, and suggests that even after one has grown too old to dream, their love for each other will continue to flourish. The singer pronounces "When I grow too old to dream, I'll have you to remember, when I grow too old to dream, your love will live in my heart. So kiss me my sweet, and so let us part", indicating that the relationship between the couple will not be defined by their physical state and will transcend time.
The last two lines of the chorus "And when I grow too old to dream, that kiss will live in my heart, so kiss me my sweet and so let us part" sums up the sentiment of the song, indicating that the memory of the present will be cherished and remembered even when age has crept in.
