I'm Growing Old Without You

It’s the autumn of my life
The leaves of time are falling
Though you still stay young in me
I’m growing old without you
I remember our young days
We roamed through field and forest
Night would fall and day would spring
The evenings planning our lives
Distant as those days might be,
And distant to the country
No one could desire more
Than what God granted to us
It’s autumn now in my life
And winter’s breath is closing
Though it breaks my heart in two
I’m growing old without you
(Ensemble)
Why does God give all to some,
And little to so many?
'Vangeline and Gabriel,
We never saw them again
Twenty more years that we lived
Without a word from either
Do they live or did they die?
Apart and ever-loving
We will keep their tale alive
A light throughout the ages
May we all remember them
And love those we have dearly
May you all remember them
And love those you have dearly
