Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I've seen the world, done it all Had my cake now Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now Hot summer nights, mid-July When you and I were forever wild The crazy days, city lights The way you'd play with me like a child [Chorus] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful? [Verse 2] I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now Channeling angels in the new age now Hot summer days, rock and roll The way you'd play for me at your show And all the ways I got to know Your pretty face and electric soul [Chorus] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful? [Bridge] Dear Lord, when I get to heaven Please, let me bring my man When he comes, tell me that You'll let him in Father, tell me if You can All that grace, all that body All that face makes me wanna party He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds [Chorus] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I got nothin' but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful? [Outro] Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful? Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?
