Song Of The Violin Lyrics - James Otto

The last fifty years 

Have seen laughter and tears 

And your hair slowly fade to gray 

Your children are grown now 

And it's hard to believe 

How the years have just all slipped away 

But in time you've gained a wisdom 

That seems to elude the young 

And each line that now marks your face 

Tells the stories of all that you've done 

So fear not the passing of the days 

'Cause like the song of the violin 

You only grow sweeter with age 

As time's pages turn 

You lived and you learned 

That what truly mattered most 

Is family and friends 

And in the end, finding peace 

In the path that you chose 

'Cause in time you've gained a wisdom 

That seems to elude the young 

And each line that now marks your face 

Tells the stories of all that you've done 

So fear not the passing of the days 

'Cause like the song of the violin 

You only grow sweeter with age 

Ooh, in time you've gained a wisdom 

That seems to elude the young 

And each line that now marks your face 

Tells the stories of all that you've done 

So fear not the passing of the days 

'Cause like the song of the violin 

You only grow sweeter with age 

'Cause like the song of the violin 

You only grow sweeter with age 

The last fifty years 

Have seen laughter and tears 

And your hair slowly fade to gray
