Old and Wise

"Old and Wise" is a 1982 song by the Alan Parsons Project from the album Eye in the Sky.

The song reached number 21 on the Billboard AC charts in the US in early 1983 and number 74 in the United Kingdom-- the first of the band's singles to chart in that country.

Lead vocal

The lead vocal on "Old and Wise" was performed by former Zombies vocalist Colin Blunstone. Blunstone made several appearances on Alan Parsons Project albums, but "Old and Wise" was the only single with Blunstone as lead singer to gain airplay. Blunstone later re-recorded the song for his own two-disc Best Of album, titled "Old and Wise," released in 2003.

    Old and Wise

    by: Colin Blunstone

    As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows approaching me
    And to those I left behind
    I wanted you to know
    You've always shared my deepest thoughts
    You follow where I go
    CHORUS
    And oh when I'm old and wise
    BItter words mean little to me
    Autumn winds will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they asked me if I knew you
    I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
    And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise
    As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows surrounding me
    And to those I leave behind
    I want you all to know
    You've always shared my darkest hours
    I'll miss you when I go
    CHORUS
    And oh, when I'm old and wise
    Heavy words that tossed and blew me
    Like autumn winds will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they ask you if you knew me
    Remember that you were a friend of mine
    As the final curtain falls before my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise
