The roses have faded away. The snows of December have taken the place of the beautiful flowers of May. There's silver in your hair dear and the flowers near depart There's silver in your hair dear But there's gold in your heart. Cookie |

For $21.95 + $5.00 carriage you can have it put on CD (with other song of your choice from an available list, I think) from original Edisons of the 20s at Babson Records Lawrence Wright also wrote songs under the name Horatio Nicholls and was responsible for Among My Souvenirs. You'll find information about him at Lawrence Wright. Both he and Warton David have references online, but despite checking a lot of lyric databases I can find no online version of the music/text.

Long years of joy we've spent together. We've share. the rain and sunny weather; But still to me your dear eyes shine, As on the day God made you mine. CHORUS: There's silver in your hair, dear; the roses have faded away. The snows of December have taken the place of the beautiful flow'rs of May. Your eyes have lost their brightness, but the love-light will ne'er depart. There's silver in your snow-white hair, but there's gold within your heart. 2. We've heard the voice of springtime calling. We've watched the leaves of autumn falling; But though the years have come between, The mem'ry lives of what has been. CHORUS |
