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 do not 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
