We have been gay, going our way
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
After you've gone, life will go on
Like an old song we have sung
(additional verse)
After you've gone, life will go on
Time will be tenderly drying our tears
Still will I find you in my mind
Beckoning over the years
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
(Orchestral Interlude)
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
