Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGHGIDJD KFLFMNON FKPKQRSR TUFVBDED| There's a lot of joy in the smiling world | A |
| there's plenty of morning sun | B |
| And laughter and songs and dances too | C |
| when ever the day's work's done | B |
| Full many an hour is a shining one | B |
| when viewed by itself apart | D |
| But the golden threads in the warp of life | E |
| are the sorrow tugs at your heart | D |
| - | |
| Oh the fun is froth and it blows away | F |
| and many a joy's forgot | G |
| And the pleasures come and the pleasures go | H |
| and memory holds them not | G |
| But treasured ever you keep the pain | I |
| that causes your tears to start | D |
| For the sweetest hours are the ones that bring | J |
| the sorrow tugs at your heart | D |
| - | |
| The lump in your throat and the little sigh | K |
| when your baby trudged away | F |
| The very first time to the big red school | L |
| how long will their memory stay | F |
| The fever days and the long black nights | M |
| you watched as she troubled slept | N |
| And the joy you felt when she smiled once more | O |
| how long will that all be kept | N |
| - | |
| The glad hours live in a feeble way | F |
| but the sad ones never die | K |
| His first long trousers caused a pang | P |
| and you saw them with a sigh | K |
| And the big still house when the boy and girl | Q |
| unto youth and beauty grown | R |
| To college went will you e'er forget | S |
| that first grim hour alone | R |
| - | |
| It seems as you look back over things | T |
| that all that you treasure dear | U |
| Is somehow blent in a wondrous way | F |
| with a heart pang and a tear | V |
| Though many a day is a joyous one | B |
| when viewed by itself apart | D |
| The golden threads in the warp of life | E |
| are the sorrow tugs at your heart | D |
