1st verse:]
Come sit beside me darling May, and look into my eyes
It seems as tho` `twere yesterday I won you for my prize
The hand of time has turned your golden locks to silv`ry gray
The silver threads have drawn you closer to my heart each day
[chorus:]
You were my queen at sweet sixteen
You`re my queen at sixty-three
Your eyes that shone with gladness then
Still hold their charms for me
And as I gaze into your eyes, there`s one thing I must say
You`re still the same sweet darling girl
And I love you more each day
[2nd verse:]
You cheered me up when I was blue, you laughed when I was gay
When trouble came you were the same, you turned night into day
You never measured what you gave by what you thought I`d give
You`re still my little sweetheart, and I`ll love you while I live
