Reverend James Elmore Jenkins - Silver Threads Among the Gold

One day we'll fade away wisdom will be hidden from our eyes
And only revealed unto babes people much younger than you or I
Will live our lives with dignity but we all have to grow old
One day in the mirror we'll see
Silver Threads Among the Gold

Our days are piling up our waters are rising high
And soon it'll be sink or swim soon we'll say goodbye
We'll drift apart like people do but don't let our love grow cold
Cause I'll do my best for
Even with Silver Threads Among the Gold

It's a strange world these days it's a lonesome life to live
It's a place of bitterness and regret in a world that don't forgive
Cause things change everyday loyalty can be bought and sold
Baby stay with me all the way
Even with Silver Threads Among the Gold

I have no money to my name I have no possessions to trade
I've made it farther then I ever thought I could now my mind is starting to fade
But whatever happens will be so baby grab a-hold
Cause I don't wanna be just some memory
I wanna have Silver Threads Among the Gold
