Lyrics:
First verse
See the world is changing as the years roll by, Only love that's ever true can never die, Some their first sweet love regret, Some will love and then forget, But will that ever be with you and I?
Chorus
Will you love me, darling, when I'm old? Will love's roses bloom in summer time. When the sunshine turns the sunset's gold? Will the wedding bells in mem'ry chime so sweetly? Will you want to kiss my locks of gray? Will love's sweetest story still be told. At the ending of each perfect day? (Darling I am growing old) Will you love me, darling, when I'm old? Will you love me, darling, when I'm old? Will love's roses bloom in summer time. When the sunshine turns the sunset's gold? Will the wedding bells in mem'ry chime so sweetly? Will you want to kiss my locks of gray? Will love's sweetest story still be told. At the ending of each perfect day? (Darling I am growing old) Will you love me, darling, when I'm old?
Second verse
When my eyes are not so bright will your heart thrill? When my lips are withered will you kiss them still? When my face is lined with care, Will you still see beauty there? And will the old sweet love your fond heart fill?
(Chorus)
