Lyrics

  1. My darling I am dreaming
    Of the days gone by
    When you and I were sweethearts
    Beneath the summer sky
    Your hair has turned to silver
    The gold has faded, too
    But still I will remember
    Where I first met you

Chorus:
Down by the old mill stream
Where I first met you
With your eyes so blue
Dressed in gingham, too
It was there I knew
That you loved me true
You were sixteen, my village queen
By the old mill stream

  1. The old mill wheel is silent
    And has fallen down
    The old oak tree has withered
    And lies there on the ground
    While you and I are sweethearts
    The same as days of yore
    Altho’ we’ve been together
    Forty years and more
