When You and I Were young,Maggie

 

When you and I were young,Maggie Roger Wagner Chorale     (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.   (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.    Lyrics by George Johnson in 1865(1839~1917)  Music by James Austin Butterfield in 1866       ※(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.
