When you and I were young,Maggie  

 

Lyrics by George Johnson in 1865

Music by James Austin Butterfield in 1866 

 

Time and Tide never looks back. 세월은 결코 뒤돌아 보지 않는다.

They say  I`m feeble with age.

My steps are less sprightly  than then

My faces is a well written page.

But  time alone was the pen.

(1st verse)

I wandered today to the hill,Maggie,

To watch the scene below

The creek and the creaking old mill,Maggie,

As we used to long long ago.

The green grove is gone from the hill,Maggie,

Where first the daisies sprung.

The creaking old mill is still,Maggie,

Since you and I were young.

(2nd verse)

A city so silent and lone,Maggie

Where the young and the gay and the best

In polished white mansion of stone,Maggie

Have each found a place of rest

Is built where the birds used to play,Maggie

And join in the songs that were sung

For we sang just as gay as they,Maggie

When you and I were young

(3rd. verse)

They say  I`m feeble with age,Maggie.

My steps are less sprightly  than then

My faces is a well written page,Maggie.

But  time alone was the pen.

They say we are aged and grey,Maggie.

As  spray by the white breakers flung

But to me you`re as  fair as you were,Maggie.

When you and I were young.
