Darlin' I am growin' older mmm

Silver threads among the gold

Shine upon my brow today mmm

Love can never more grow old

Locks may lose their brown and gold
A E7 A
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow
E7 A
But the hearts that love will know.

That, my darling, you will be, will be
B7 E7
Always young and fair to me
A E7 A
Yes, my darling, you will be
E7 A
Always young and fair to me.

Always young and fair to me...
