I Love You More Each Day (19 May 1910) lyrics

[1st verse:]
Come sit beside me darling May, and look into my eyes
It seems as tho' 'twere yesterday I won you for my prize
The hand of time has turned your golden locks to silv'ry gray
The silver threads have drawn you closer to my heart each day

[chorus:]
You were my queen at sweet sixteen
You're my queen at sixty-three
Your eyes that shone with gladness then
Still hold their charms for me
And as I gaze into your eyes, there's one thing I must say
You're still the same sweet darling girl
And I love you more each day

[2nd verse:]
You cheered me up when I was blue, you laughed when I was gay
When trouble came you were the same, you turned night into day
You never measured what you gave by what you thought I'd give
You're still my little sweetheart, and I'll love you while I live
