Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today mmm
Life is fading fast away
Always young and fair to me
Yes, my darlin', you-ou will be-ee-ee
Always young and fair to me-ee
When your hair is silver whi-ite
And your cheeks' no longer bright
With the roses of the May-ay, mmm
I will kiss your lips and say-ay
Oh my darlin', you will be, you will be
Always young and fair to me...
Yes, my darlin', you-ou will be-ee-ee
Always young and fair to-oo me
The lyrics to Foster feat. Allen's song Silver Threads Among the Gold speak to the inevitability of aging and the devotion and love that can withstand it. The singer acknowledges that they are growing old, as represented by the "silver threads among the gold" that now shine upon their brow. They recognize that life is fading fast away, but despite their own change, they express that their love will remain constant as their partner ages. The singer imagines a future when their partner's hair is white and cheeks no longer bright with the roses of May, but they will still kiss their lips and see them as "always young and fair."
The song explores themes of aging, devotion, and the beauty of enduring love. It acknowledges the passing of time and the physical changes that come with it, but it also celebrates the timeless qualities of love that endure beyond physical appearance. The lyrics are a reminder that true love can remain steadfast even as outer appearances and circumstances shift and change.
