Let’s grow old together, let the days grow longer;
Our love grows deeper along the way;
And life grows fuller and the bond grows stronger
As we walk holding hands day by day.
The memories are many, the laughs are fuller;
The vigor is lesser, but the will is there;
And the ocean of joy in the heart flows o'er,
And always covers all our earthly cares.
And all true things in life are valued,
And the better things are kept at bay,
And grandchildren are dearer & loved,
And love is all as our sun ebbs away.
Then let us walk together as we grow old,
And let’s love each other more & more,
For we know not what the morrow beholds
We’ll be together—or on God's golden shore.
