Darling, we are growing old
A E
and show the silver in our hair,
A D
sands of time have stolen all the gold
E A
that made your youthful tresses fair.
E A
But years can never steal away,
E A
a love that never can grow old.
A D
What care we for tresses gray,
E A
since love will always keep its gold.
A D
Love, I'll tell you with a kiss,
A E
if heaven gives back the youth we miss.
A D
Your face will be no fairer then,
E A
when silver threads are gold again.
( A D E A )
A D
Darling, I can read today,
A E
the question in your thoughtful eyes,
A D
you wonder if I wish for May,
E A
beneath this frosty Autumn sky.
E A
Love of mine, be sure of this,
E A
for me, no face could be so fair
A D
than this one that I stoop to kiss,
E A
beneath its crown of silver hair.
( A D E A )
A D
Darlin', with your hand in mine,
A E
we'll journey all life's pathway through,
A D
with happy tears your dear eyes shine
E A
like deep blue blossoms in the dew.
E A
These sorrows of the passing years
E A
have made us love each other more.
A D
And every day that disappears,
E A
I count you dearer than before.
A D
Love, I'll tell you with a kiss,
A E
if Heav?n gives back the youth we miss,
A D
your face will be no fairer then,
E A
when silver threads are gold again.
