Silver Threads among the Gold
(Words by Ben E. Rexford; Music by H. P. Danks)

Sheet Music


Darling I am growing old,
Siverthreads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today,
Life is fading fast away;
But, my darling, you will be, will be,
Always young and fair to me,
You! my darling, you will be, will be
Always young and fair to me.

Chorus

Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today,
Life is fading fast away.

When your hair is silver white,
And your cheeks no longer bright
Withe the roses of the May,
I will kiss your lips and say.
Oh! my darling mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown.
Yes! my darling mine alone,
You have never older grown.

Chorus

Love can never more grow old,
Locks may lose their brown and gold;
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow;
But, the hearts that love, will know
Never, never winter's frost and chill;
Summer warmth is in them still,
Never winter's frost and chill,
Summer warmth is in them still.

Chorus

Love is always young and fair,-
What to us is silver hair,
Faded cheeks or steps grown slow,
To the hearts that beat below?
Sinced I kissed you, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown,
Since I kissed you, mine alone,
You have never older grown.

Chorus
