Lyrics Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry

Darlin

Darlin' your father's growing older, each year

Strands of gray are showing bolder, come here

And lay your head upon my shoulder, my dear

The time is passing fast away

There has been many sundown that I've seen, come by

Since you were just sweet sixteen, and I

I have played these same songs of yesterday, oh my

How the time has passed away

Yes, there's been fame and there's been fortune

But there's been heartache combined

Hear me now as I cry, oh, loving fans of mine

The good times come but do not stay, you'll find

Time will take them fast away

Darlin', hear these words and true are they, my dear

Life can pass so fast away
