For Now I'm Sixty-Four Lyrics

I ponder on those days gone by as I sat beside the mill,
And gazed upon the setting sun as it sank beneath the hill;
I gazed on it once more me b'ys t'was the very sun i'd seen,
Its just the same now as it was when we were sweet sixteen.
How I long for those bright days to come again once more,
But come again they never will for now I'm sixty-four.

The little fish swim in the brook and wander down below,
They swim on still and ever will as they did long long ago;
The little meadow by the brook is just as fresh and green,
It's just the same now as it was when we were sweet sixteen.
How I long for those bright days to come again once more,
But come again they never will for now I'm sixty-four.

Oh the past is past and she is gone, on earth we'll meet no more,
But we will meet in heaven above on that eternal shore;
And when we meet we'll part no more, we both will reign supreme,
No more to sing for days gone by when we were sweet sixteen.
How I long for those bright days to come again once more,
But come again they never will for now I'm sixty-four.
