Hair Of Spun Gold

When I was just the age of five

My world had just come alive

Wondrous things to be seen and be done

All that I could think of was fun

With hair of spun gold

Lips of ruby red

And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

And when I was just the age of ten

My life it did change again

I threw away all my childish toys

And worked on getting noticed by the boys

And when I was just thirteen years of age

Going steady was all the rage

My momma picked me out the cutest boy

My little leather-jacketed toy

And hair of spun gold

Turned to black as the night

Lips of ruby red were turned to pale pink

And when I was fifteen years of age

He had my hand in marriage

And when fifteen years of age

In my arms I held my babe

And now I'm twenty-one

I feel my life's over and done

And I'm looking down on my little child

Wondering if she'll be so wild

She's got hair of spun gold

Lips of ruby red

And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

And I'm looking down on my child

I swear she'll have the time

There'll be time to love, there'll be time to learn

Her childish memories she won't spurn

We'll find time to laugh, there'll be time to play

She won't have to throw her toys away

I swear to you

We'll wait for time to take its time
