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
