Chorus:

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.



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.



--- Instrumental ---



Chorus:

Love can never more grow old

Locks may lose their brown and gold

Cheeks may fade and hollow grow

But the hearts that love will know.



That, 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.



Always young and fair to me...
