Foster And Allen

Foster And Allen - Maggie lyrics

rate me

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie, <br />

To watch the scene below - <br />

The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie, <br />

As we used to, long ago. <br />

The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie, <br />

Where first the daisies sprung; <br />

The creaking old mill is still, Maggie, <br />

Since you and I were young. <br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

And now we are agèd and grey, Maggie, <br />

And the trials of life nearly done, <br />

Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie, <br />

When you and I were young. <br />

<br />

A city so silent and lone, Maggie, <br />

Where the young, and the gay, and the best, <br />

In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie, <br />

Have each found a place of rest, <br />

Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie, <br />

And join in the songs that we sung; <br />

For we sang as lovely as they, Maggie, <br />

When you and I were young. <br />

<br />

Chorus <br />

<br />

They say that I'm feeble with age, Maggie, <br />

My steps are less sprightly than then, <br />

My face is a well-written page, Maggie, <br />

And time alone was the pen. <br />

They say we are agèd and grey, Maggie, <br />

As sprays by the white breakers flung, <br />

But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie, <br />

When you and I were young. <br />

<br />

Chorus
