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 Saint 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
