NEVER GROW OLD

Esther & Abi Ofarim - 1968


Look at me, I'm turning to gold
(You would say I've never been told)
I would say you've never been told
Look at me, I glow and I know that I (that you) will never grow old

Morning, noon and night,
Just look at me, I'm turning to gold
(You would say I've never been told)
I would say you've never been told
Look at me, (look at you) I glow and I know that I will never grow old

You (only me), you have shown me the way (look at me)
Now you're gonna please stay (only me)
Let me glow in your light, night and day (night and day)
You, (day and night) you have promised this wonder (night and day)
Now I couldn't be fonder (look at me) of the state I am in

Look away and I become steel
Now my heart has nothing to feel
Look away I freeze and I know that wonders cannot be real

Da da di da da da da
Da da da
Da da da
Da Dum

You (look at me), you have shown me the way (only me)
Now you're gonna please stay (look at me)
Let me glow in your light, night and day (night and day)
You, (day and night)you have promised this wonder (night and day)
Now I couldn't be fonder (look at me) of the state I am in

Look away and I become steel
All my heart is metal to feel
Look away I freeze and I know that wonders cannot be real

Never look away
Just look at me, I'm turning to gold
I would say you've never been told
Look at me I glow and I know that I will never grow old
I'll never grow old
Never grow old

I'll never grow old
