Fall away, fall away When you're happy, the years fall away When you're blue, the days go by a-dragging But when you're happy, the years fall away This morning I woke up old and gray And I wondered, now how did I get this way? Then I remembered, my good heavens, it's our golden wedding day But when you're happy, the years just fall away Fall away, fall away When you're happy, the years fall away When you're blue, the days go by a-dragging But when you're happy, the years fall away My darling, today I looked at you And I noticed your hair's getting silvery too And it thrilled me when you said, white was black just yesterday But when you're happy, yeah, when you're happy, the years just fall away Fall away, fall away When you're happy, the years fall away When you're blue, the days go by a-dragging But when you're happy, the years fall away
