Lyrics

  1. Draw your chair close to the fire, dear heart
    Just lay your hand in mine
    Let us be sweethearts again tonight
    Just as in Auld Lang Syne
    The fingers of time rest so gently
    Upon your golden hair
    But in fancy I see mid the golden
    Traces of silver there

Chorus:
Tho’ your hair is turning silver
You’ve a heart of gold
In your eyes the love light shines
Just as of old
If your face is not so fair
Still the old smile lingers there
Tho’ your hair is turning silver
You’ve a heart of gold

  1. Don’t you remember the day, dear heart
    When you became my bride
    You’ve not forgotten the vows we made
    As we stood side by side
    We started the journey as sweethearts
    We’ll end it just that way
    For in all this broad land
    There’s no other can take your place today
