Verse:

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.

 

Chorus:

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.
