Be My Life's Companion
Mills Brothers/Rosemary Clooney
The Very Best of the Mills Brothers

Want no silver threads among the gold
Want no silver threads among the gold
Want no silver threads; want some action instead
Want no silver threads among the gold

Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
When there's joy in living, you just never grow old
You've got to stay young, 'cause you'll never grow old

People who are lonely are old at 33
Don't let it happen to you; don't let it happen to me

Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
You'll never grow old, no, you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old

I know a man who's lonely, and he's old at 33
No one wants to be old at 33
Your disposition sours like a lemon on a tree
Don't let it happen to you, and don't let it happen to me

Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
Yes, I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion, be my life's companion, and you'll never grow
old
