I met you past your median Though I was yet in Spring And longed for every moment As a bird upon the wing That flies to heavenly perches Or at times lands on the ground We loved and played and sang our songs And together we were bound But the years have fled so quickly And time did catch us yet Your old, my new Your age, my youth Our fates have now been set So I pack my things together Though each a memory bears The tears that come are rueful And lay my feelings bare The day our parting nears us A count so marked by tears And night has left me sleepless Though you are lying near But the years have fled so quickly And time did catch us yet Your old, my new Your age, my youth Your old, my new Your age, my youth Our fates have now been set We did the near impossible But could not stop the bell As time itself refused us And sealed our last farewell Though friends tried to dissuade us Our love their symbol of truth We knew a way much truer To walk this path so blue But the years have fled so quickly And time did catch us yet Your old, my new Your age, my youth Your old, my new Your age, my youth Your old, my new Your age, my youth Our fates have now been set
