[Intro — brief instrumental: warm piano, gentle guitar, soft strings] [Verse 1 — intimate male lead] When we're old, will you still call me honey? Will you leave your hand right here in mine? When it takes a little longer getting ready, Will you smile and say, "We've got the time"? Will you sit beside me by the window, Let the whole world hurry on outside? [Pre-Chorus — bass and gentle drums enter] I can't promise we won't change, Or every day will feel the same. But I could spend this whole life through Learning how to love you. [Chorus — warm strings, gentle vocal harmonies] Will you still call me honey, my love? Will you reach for me when the day is done? When the years roll on, will you still be mine? Every single day, right here by my side. Oh, honey, my love, Will you still call me honey? [Verse 2 — stronger soul groove; tambourine enters] Will we dance while the kettle's boiling? Will you steal the blanket in your sleep? Will I find your notes inside my pocket, Little words you know I'll always keep? If the stairs get steep, I'll take your elbow; When the nights get long, come lean on me. [Chorus — fuller drums, rising strings and brass] Will you still call me honey, my love? Will you reach for me when the day is done? When the years roll on, will you still be mine? Every single day, right here by my side. Oh, honey, my love, Will you still call me honey? [Bridge — drums fall away; piano remains, strings slowly climb] I hear you laughing in the kitchen, And suddenly the future's clear: If growing old means growing with you, Then, darling, bring on every year. [Repeat with rising intensity] Bring on every year! As long as you're here! [Brief instrumental crescendo — sweeping strings, triumphant brass, rolling drums] [Final Chorus — upward key change; full orchestra, passionate male belt] When we're old, I will still call you honey! I'll reach for you when the day is done! Let the years roll on, put your hand in mine, Every single day, I'll be right by your side! Still your man, still falling in love, Still stealing a kiss when the morning comes. Oh, honey, my love, I'll never get tired of calling you mine! [Outro — sustained soulful vocal; orchestra swells and resolves] Honey, my love... Every single day by your side.
