Will you love me years from now

WILL YOU LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN MY HAIR HAS TURNED TO GREY,
WHEN THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK SO EASILY NOW
 WILL SOON BE HARD TO SAY, 
WILL YOU LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN MY EYES NO LONGER SHINE, 
AND ALL THE THOUGHTS BEHIND THEM 
SLOWLY LEAVE MY MIND, 
WILL YOU LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN MY WALK STARTS TO SLOW, 
AND THE ARMS THAT USED TO HOLD YOU TIGHT 
CAN'T BECAUSE THEY SHAKE SO, 
WILL YOU LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN TIME TAKES IT'S TOLL ON MY FACE, 
WHAT ONCE WAS BEAUTY YOU GAZED UPON 
IS NOW A WRINKLED PLACE, 
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN I CAN NO LONGER SEE, 
WILL YOU TAKE MY OLD AND AGEING HANDS 
AND BE MY EYES FOR ME, 
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW 
WHEN AT LAST I AM GONE, 
WILL THE MEMORIES OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER 
BE ENOUGH TO CARRY YOU ON, 
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME YEARS FROM NOW, 
THE ANSWER I KNOW IS TRUE, 
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY LOVED ME THIS LONG 
THERE IS NO POINT IN ASKING YOU
