Lyrics
- Come sit beside me darling May
And look into my eyes
It seems as tho’ ’twere yesterday
I won you for my prize
The hand of time has turned
Your golden locks to silv’ry gray
The silver threads have drawn you
Closer to my heart each day
Chorus
You were my queen at sweet sixteen
You’re my queen at sixty-three
Your eyes that shone with gladness then
Still hold their charms for me
And as I gaze into your eyes
There’s one thing I must say
You’re still the same sweet darling girl
And I love you more each day
- You cheered me up when I was blue
You laughed when I was gay
When trouble came you were the same
You turned night into day
You never measured what you gave
By what you thought I’d give
You’re still my little sweetheart
And I’ll love you while I live
