Will you come and play for me
When I am in the nursing home
And old and bent
And can't remember
What happened
Just ten minutes thence?
Will you come with your guitar
That I may rejoice
While you strum and sing
Your wild sweet songs
As in your newly- manly voice
You just now did for me?
Though in my twilight state
I may not know you or your name
Will you come all the same
And for a brief minute or two
Fill me anew with all the joy
Life has led me through?
Benny, will you come and play for me?
