Darling, I am growing old--
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today.
Life is fading fast away.
Yes, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.
Yes, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.
When your hair is silvery white
And your cheeks no longer bright,
With the roses of the May,
I will kiss your lips and say:
Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown!
Yes, my darling, mine alone,
You have never older grown!
