Verse 1:
C                  C7   F 
Darlin?, we are growing old 
    C                       G 
And show the silver in our hair 
C                         C7  F 
Since time has stolen all the gold 
     G                          C 
That made your youthful tresses fair 
G                         C 
But years can never steal away 
  G                        C 
A look that never can grow old 
C                    C7  F 
What care we for tresses gray 
      G                         C 
Since love will always keep its gold 

 
C                       C7 F 
Love, I?ll tell you with a kiss 
   C                              G 
If Heaven gives back the youth we miss 
     C               C7     F 
Your face will be no fairer then 
     G                       C 
When silver threads are gold again

Verse 2:
 
C               C7  F 
Darlin?, I can read today 
     C                          G 
The question in your thoughtful eyes 
     C               C7  F 
You wonder if I wish for May 
   G                      C 
Beneath the frosty autumn skies 
G                         C 
Love of mine, be sure of this 
G                           C 
For me, no face could be so fair 
C                          C7 F 
Than this one that I stoop to kiss 
G                            C 
Beneath its crown of silver hair

Verse 3:
 
C                      C7  F 
Darlin?, with your hand in mine 
C                                G 
We?ll journey all life?s pathway through 
     C                      C7   F 
With happy tears your dear eyes shine 
     G                         C 
Like deep blue blossoms in the dew 
    G                      C 
The sorrow of the passing years 
     G                        C 
Have made us love each other more 
C                  C7   F 
And every day that disappears 
   G                     C 
I count you dearer than before

If Heaven gives back the youth we miss 
     C               C7     F 
Your face will be no fairer then 
     G                       C 
When silver threads are gold again 
     C               C7     F 
Your face will be no fairer then

When silver threads are gold again
