Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 47

DREAMING OF DAYS THAT ARE PAST AND GONE.
Copyright, 1995, by Jos. Thome.
Written and Composed by Frank Addis Kent.

Come, sit by me, darling, mine so long;
Gray is your hair, dear, once shining gold;
Yes, you are a grandma, old are we,
But lovers still, as in the days old;
Old sweethearts we, hearts young and free;
Age cannot steal love that we feel; blessed are we;
Although I am sixty, you're fifty-two,
I'm still your lover, darling, all life through.

Refrain.
Dreaming of days when our lives were young,
Dreaming of all the sweet songs we've sung,
Living for aye in a love life-long,
Dreaming of days that are past and gone.

Come, sing me the old songs, good and true;
Sweet, precious music, tunes of our youth.
We'll live in the old days, love's still young;
Grandma and grandpa but sweethearts in truth;
Old sweethearts we, hearts young and free;
Age cannot steal love that we feel; blessed are we;
Thus sailing together down life's fair stream.
Until our boat shall touch where heaven shall beam- Refrain.
