My darling come to me

sit you down easily

and rest awhile

near the soft firelight

cold is the night

But warm is

my heart with pride

having you by my side

you're still my guiding light

after all these years

Your soft assuring ways

the rock I lean on

saw me through

my darkest days

when all hope had gone...

You're still the only one

I'll ever hold near

and I love you

after all these years

Time from me passes on

and I'm growing old

a lifetime nearly gone

I cannot unfold

nights dark and cold

But warm is your hand in mine

feeble with ageless time

the light of love still shines

after all these years

Your soft assuring ways

the rock I lean on

saw me through

my darkest days

when all hope had gone...

You're still the only one

I'll ever hold near

and I love you

after all these years

I still love you

after all these years
