Silver thread among the gold / Foster & Allen

 

 

 

Silver thread 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         
When your hair is silver-white

And your cheek"s 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 never more 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 heart that beats below
Since I kissed you, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown
Since I kissed you, mine alone,
You have never older grown
