| Now I'm 64 D A Bm G D G A I pondered on those days gone by as I sat beside the mill G D Bm G D E A And gazed upon that setting sun as it sank beneath the hills D A Bm G D G A I gazed on it once more me boys t'was the very sight I seen G D Bm G D A G It's just the same now as it was when we were sweet sixteen Chorus D A Bm G D G A Oh how I long for those bright days to come again once more D G Bm G D A G But come again they never will for now I'm sixty-four I went a little further on it was up the hill I walked And sat down on that very spot where we all time sat and talked We talked about those happy days so blissful and serene We talked about those happy days when we were sweet sixteen Chorus The little fish swims in the brook and he wanders down below He swims there still and ever will as he did long long ago The little meadow by the brook is just as fresh and green It's just the same now as it was when we were sweet sixteen Chorus Well the past is past and she is gone on earth we'll meet no more But we will meet in heaven above on that eternal shore And when we meet we'll part no more, we both shall reign supreme No more to sing of days gone by when we were sweet sixteen Chorus |
