When You & I Were Young, Maggie Lyrics - John Mcdermott

I wandered today to the hills, Maggie 

To watch the scene below 

The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie 

Where we used to long, long ago 

The green growth is gone from the hills, Maggie 

Where first the daisies spring 

The creaking old mill is still, Maggie 

Since you and I were young 

Oh, they say that I'm feeble with age, Maggie 

My steps are much slower than then 

My face is a well written page, Maggie 

And time all along was the pen 

Oh, they say we have outlived our time, Maggie 

As dated as songs that we've sung 

But to me, you're as fair as you were, Maggie 

When you and I were young
