| Ought to linger all the while | E |

| And a tear should never trace | F |
| Lines of sorrow hurt or care | D |
| On those cheeks so wondrous fair | D |

| And the youth that used to be | A |
| Once again along the ways | M |

| We could chuckle soft and low | C |
| At the things we didn't know | C |
| And could laugh to think how bold | N |
| We had been in days of old | N |
| And how blind we were to care | D |
| With its heartache and despair | D |
| We could smile away the tears | O |
| And the pain of later years | P |
