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
