Lyrics
- Long years of joy we’ve spent together
We’ve shared the rain and sunny weather
But still to me your dear eyes shine
As on the day God made you mine
CHORUS:
There’s silver in your hair, dear
The roses have faded away
The snows of December have taken the place
Of the beautiful flowers of May
Your eyes have lost their brightness
But the love-light will ne’er depart
There’s silver in your snow-white hair
But there’s gold within your heart
- We’ve heard the voice of springtime calling
We’ve watched the leaves of autumn falling
But though the years have come between
The memory lives of what has been
