Lyrics

LET ME GROW LOVELY GROWING OLD

Let me grow lovely growing old
So many fine things do
Laces and ivory and gold
And silks need not be new

There is healing in old trees
Old streets a glamour hold

Why may not I as well as these
Grow lovely growing old
Why may not I as well as these
Grow lovely growing old

Poem by Karle Wilson Baker (1878-1960)
