Silver Threads Among the Gold

Darling

I am grow­ing old

Silver threads among the gold

Shine up­on my brow to­day;

Life is fad­ing fast away

But

my dar­ling

you will be

will be

Always young and fair to me.

Yes! my dar­ling

you will be

Always young and fair to me.

Darling

I am grow­ing old

Silver threads among the gold

Shine up­on my brow to­day;

Life is fad­ing fast away.

When your hair is sil­ver 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

Love can nev­er­more grow old;

Locks may lose their brown and gold

Cheeks may fade and hol­low grow;

But the hearts that love will know

Never

nev­er win­ter’s frost and chill;

Summer warmth is in them still

Never win­ter’s frost and chill

Summer warmth is in them still.

Love is al­ways young and fair;

What to us is sil­ver hair

Faded cheeks or steps grown slow

To the hearts that beat be­low?

Since I kissed you

mine alone

alone

You have nev­er old­er grown

Since I kissed you

mine alone

You have nev­er old­er grown

Soon we’ll join the Shep­herd’s fold

There we’ll nev­er­more grow old;

Ageless with the saints on high

Ne’er again to fade and die;

Cheeks abloom once more like month of May

Eyes aspar­kle

fair as day;

For the Lamb has set us free

Free to love eter­nal­ly.

Yes

my dar­ling

we will be

Always young and fair and free;

Shining bright in Heav’n above

Resting in im­mor­tal love.
