Foster And Allen - Maggie lyrics
rate meI 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
