Lyrics
- Nestle closer to me, darling
Night of life not far away
Like the sunshine youth has faded
Darling, we are old and grey
Still with love my heart is glowing
As it was in life’s sweet May
When my blushing bride I held you
In my arms, sweetheart, to say
Chorus:
When time has tinged your golden hair with grey
When the summertime of life has passed away
I will find the same sweet grace
In your kind and loving face
When time has tinged your golden hair with grey
- As the last milestone grows nearer
Seems as if you dearer grow
Tho’ I gave you all my heart’s love
Many happy years ago
And I only hope, my darling
When the Master calls us home
He will take us both together
And not leave me here alone
