For the Ages

Darling, you’re one for the ages I’m glad you live here in mine Your face and figure belong To centuries been and gone Those Renaissance and Roman times Darling, you’re one for the ages Long may you live in my rhyme The years will cut us down But they won’t keep us in the ground Out of the grave we’ll climb Darling, you’re one for the ages You’ll never go out of style You walked into the ball Dressed by St Vincent de Paul With that shy and serious smile Darling, you’re one for the ages Your beauty suits every clime There’s a mystery deep within And in the light upon your skin I could study for all time Darling, you’re one for the ages Darling, you’re one for the ages Darling, you’re one for the ages
