The family sat in the deepening dusk. The land flattened to blackness, and in the clear air above it the stars hung low. Then Pa said: "Here is one for you girls." Softly he sang: the music floated away and was gone.

These Happy Golden Years, page 156

Golden Years Are Passing By
(Words and Music by Will L. Thompson, 1879)

Golden years are passing by,
Happy, happy golden years,
Passing on the wings of time,
These happy golden years.
Call them back as they go by,
Sweet their mem'ries are,
Oh, improve them as they fly,
These happy golden years.
Golden years, golden years,
Happy golden years,
Oh, improve them as they fly,
These Happy Golden Years.
