I promised Amme I'd protect you, and see, I cannot even save you from yourself.
[ but obligingly ]
Golden years are passing by, Happy, happy golden years, Passing on the wings of time, These happy golden years. Call them back as they go by, Sweet their memories are, Oh, improve them as they fly, These happy golden years.
Chorus: Golden years, golden years Happy golden years Oh, improve them as they fly These Happy Golden Years
Golden years are passing by, Precious precious golden years let no idle hour be spent With sorrow, grief and tears Ah! The good we all may do As the moments pass To your nobler self be true Reward will come at last
Golden years are passing by Fleeting, fleeting swiftly on Life is but a passing hour Before we know 'tis gone Soon the parting time will come Day by day it nears Have you done your duty well These happy golden years?

Golden years are passing by,
Happy, happy golden years,
Passing on the wings of time,
These happy golden years.
Call them back as they go by,
Sweet their memories are,
Oh, improve them as they fly,
These happy golden years.
Chorus:
Golden years, golden years
Happy golden years
Oh, improve them as they fly
These Happy Golden Years
Golden years are passing by,
Precious precious golden years
let no idle hour be spent
With sorrow, grief and tears
Ah! The good we all may do
As the moments pass
To your nobler self be true
Reward will come at last
Golden years are passing by
Fleeting, fleeting swiftly on
Life is but a passing hour
Before we know 'tis gone
Soon the parting time will come
Day by day it nears
Have you done your duty well
These happy golden years?
