Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
