🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And know they love you
  • And you, of tender years
  • Can't know the fears your elders grew by
  • Help them with your youth

Sing it again — final chorus

  • And know they love you
  • Don't you ever ask them why
  • If they told you, you would cry
  • So just look at them and sigh
