[B] Darling, I am [E] growing old, _ [B]

[F#] always young and [B] fair to me.

When your [B] hair is [E] silver white, _ [B]
and your cheeks no [E] longer bright, _
With [B] the roses [E] of May, _ _ [B]
I will kiss your [E] lips and say,
_ _ [B]
Oh, my darling, [E] mine alone, [C#m] alone, [B]
you [F#] have never [B] older grown.

_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E]
Love [B] can [E] nevermore grow old, _ [B]
locks may lose their [E] brown and gold, _
Cheeks [B] may fade and [E] hollow grow, _ _ [B]
but the hearts that [E] love will know.
_ _ [B] _
Never, never [E] winters frost [C#m] and chill, [B] _
[F#] summer's warmth is in [B] them still.
