John Linnell - Will You Love Me in December as You Do in May? lyrics

rate me

Now, in the summer of life, sweetheart

You say you love but me

Gladly I give all my heart to you

Throbbing with ecstasy

But last night I saw, while a-dreaming

The future old and gray,

And I wondered if you'll love me then, dear

Just as you do today?

Will you love me in December as you do in May?

Will you love me in the good old-fashioned way?

When my hair has all turned gray,

Will you kiss me then and say,

That you love me in December as you do in May?

You say the glow on my cheek, sweetheart

Is like the rose so sweet

But when the bloom of fair youth has flown

Then will our lips still meet?

When life's setting sun fades away, dear,

And all is said and done,

Will your arms still entwine and caress me?

Will our hearts beat as one?

Will you love me in December as you do in May?

Will you love me in the good old-fashioned way?

When my hair has all turned gray,

Will you kiss me then and say,

That you love me in December as you do in May?
