      G             D7          G 
Oh, I love the dear silver that shines in your hair 
        C               G            Em  A7        D 
And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care 
       G             D          G    C    B   Em 
I will kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me

Every sorrow or care in the dear days gone by 
         G             C             A            D 
Was made bright by the light of the smile in your eye 
       G             Em       A7        C 
Like a candle that's set in a window at night 
     G             Em             A         D      
Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right
