Foster & Allen Lyrics
"The Golden Years"

How wise the twinkling eyes of age behold the sleeping child,
How wondrous her knowing touch will ease the troubled mind.
A treasure store is she and more of pearls beyond great price,
How beautiful the setting sun hangs gold the evening sky.

Chorus: These are your golden years, these are your golden years,
He gave you life for living, and you've got much more to give.
These are your golden years, your special golden years,
Today could be the best day of your life.

Sometimes it seems romance and dreams are only for the young,
Sometimes it's hard to stand aside before your song's been sung.
The children raised in better days, a simple way of life,
How wise those twinkling eyes of age remembering with pride.
