benny goodman and his orchestra - when you and i were young, maggie lyrics

[verse 1]
i wander’d today to the hill, maggie
to watch the scene below
the creek and the old rusty mill, maggie
where we sat in the long, long ago
the green grove is gone from the hill, maggie
where first the daisies sprung;
the old rusty mill is still, maggie
since you and i were young

[chorus]
and now we are aged and gray, maggie
the trials of life nearly done
let us sing of the days that are gone, maggie
when you and i were young

[verse 2]
a city so silent and lone, maggie
where the young and the g+y and the best
in polish’d white mansion of stone, maggie
have each found a place of rest
is built where the birds used to play, maggie
and join in the songs that were sung;
for we sang just as g+y as they, maggie
when you and i were young
[chorus]
and now we are aged and gray, maggie
the trials of life nearly done
let us sing of the days that are gone, maggie
when you and i were young

[verse 3]
they say i am feeble with age, maggie
my steps are less sprightly than then;
my face is a well+written page, maggie
but time alone was the pen
they say we are aged and gray, maggie
as sprays by the white breakers flung
but to me you’re as fair as you were, maggie
when you and i were young

[chorus]
and now we are aged and gray, maggie
the trials of life nearly done
let us sing of the days that are gone, maggie
when you and i were young
