[Intro]
[Verse]
By the time I m eighty-three
Someone will take over me
He ll look like me on the outside
But it won t be me in there
I ll have all but disappeared long before
[Verse 2]
He and I won t think the same
He won t remember my name
And he ll treat you like a stranger
But he won t mean any harm
And he ll need you more than ever before
[Chorus]
Make sure he s OK
Make sure he s alright
Tell him who you are every day, every night
[Verse 3]
He ll never know what to do
Sometimes he ll spill drinks on you
He ll quite often lose his temper
And I don t know what he ll say
But he ll tell nobody how scared he is
[Chorus]
Make sure he s OK
Make sure he s alright
Please tell him who you are every day, every night
Make sure he s OK
Try to make him smile
Tell him about me maybe once in a while
[Outro]
