| Darlin’your Father’s growing older, each year
|
| Strands of gray are showing bolder, come here
|
| And lay your head upon my shoulder, my dear
|
| The time is passing fast away
|
| There has been many sundown that I have seen, come by
|
| Since you were just sweet sixteen, and I
|
| I have played these same songs of yesterday, oh my
|
| How the time has passed away
|
| Yes, there’s been fame and there’s been fortune
|
| But there’s been heartache combined
|
| Hear me now as I cry Oh! |
| loving fans of mine
|
| The good times come but not to stay, you’ll find
|
| Time will take them fast away
|
| Darlin', hear these words and true are they, my dear
|
| Life can pass so fast away |
