Lyrics
- 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
- 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
