Words & Music by Oscar Hammerstein II & Sigmund Romberg

A             D    A        D
We have been gay, going our way;

A             D         A             C#7
Life has been beautiful, we have been young.

F#            B     F#         Bm7-5
After you've gone, life will go on

 A           E7           A
Like an old song we have sung.


A
When I grow too old to dream,

E                      A   Gdim
I'll have you to re - mem - ber;

D      Cdim     A  C#m7-5  F#7
When I grow too old   to   dream,

Fdim  A         E7         A 
Your love will live in my heart.


     E7           A       C#7        F#m   A7
So, kiss me, my sweet, and so let us part;

    D      Cdim     A  C#m7-5 F#7
And when I grow too old  to  dream,

Fdim  A         E7         A
That kiss will live in my heart.

That kiss will live in my heart..

So, kiss me, my sweet, and so let us part;

    D      Cdim     A  C#m7-5 F#7
And when I grow too old  to  dream,

Fdim  A         E7         A
That kiss will live in my heart.

D      Cdim     A  C#m7-5 F#7
And when I grow too old  to  dream,

Fdim  A         E7         A
That kiss will live in my heart..
