"Be My Life's Companion" lyrics

Be My Life's Companion

Want no silver threads among the gold
Want no silver threads among the gold
Want no silver threads
Want some action instead
Want no silver threads among the gold

Be my life's companion
And you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much
That you'll never grow old
When there's joy in living
You just never grow old
You've got to stay young
Cause you'll never grow old

People who are lonely
Are old at thirty-three
Don't let it happen to you
Don't let it happen to me

Be my life's companion
And you'll never grow old
You'll never grow old
No, you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness
Are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion
And you'll never
Grow old

I know a man who's lonely
And he's old at thirty-three
Nobody wants to be
Old at thirty-three
Your disposition sours
Like a lemon on a tree
Don't let it happen to you
Don't let it happen to me

Be my life's companion
And you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much
That you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness
Are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion
Be my life's companion
And you'll never
Grow old
