According to the CD booklet, it took Tommy Sands thirty years to write this song.


The (Em)moment of (D)truth it lies (Em)frozen for(D)ever,
(Em)Deep in the (D)heart like a (Em)stone in the (B7)soul
The (Em)news it came (D)through, it (Em)told of your (D)leaving.
It (Em)seems just a (Am)few days a(Em)go -D

Your (Em)friends crowding (D)round  filled the (Em)hallway and (D)garded
(Em)Searching for (D)words to con(Em)sole, to ex(B7)plain
(Em)Shaking our (D)hands, (Em)“Sorry for your (D)troubles”
And (Em)each had a (Am)kind word  to (Em)say -D

Chorus
You will (G)never grow old
But you’ll (C)always be (G)growing
In our (C)hearts, in our (G)minds
In the home you left be(C)hind
You will (G)never know pain nor the (C)anguish of (G)aging
You will (C)always be (D)young and (G)beautiful -G

(Em)Some plod a(D)long down a (Em)long road com(D)plaining
(Em)Finding no (D)joy in the (Em)wondrous (B7)mile
But (Em)you skipped and (D)sang every (Em)hour you were (D)given
[But you (Em)lived and you (D)loved all the (Em)hours you were (D)given]
And you (Em)filled up our (Am)hearts with your (Em)smile -D

(Em)Days turn to (D)years and the (Em)tears of lamen(D)tation
(Em)Flow to a (D)place where the (Em)waters run (B7)clear
(Em)Turning the (D)tides to a (Em)new cele(D)bration
For a (Em)love that will (Am)always be (Em)here -D
Repeat Chorus
​The moment of truth it lies frozen forever,
Deep in the heart like a stone in the soul
The news it came through, it told of your leaving.
It seems just a few days ago -D

Your friends crowding round  filled the hallway and garded
Searching for words to console, to explain
Shaking our hands, “Sorry for your troubles”
And each had a kind word  to say -D

Chorus
You will never grow old
But you’ll always be growing
In our hearts, in our minds
In the home you left behind
You will never know pain nor the anguish of aging
You will always be young and beautiful -G

Some plod along down a long road complaining
Finding no joy in the wondrous mile
But you skipped and sang every hour you were given
[But you lived and you loved all the hours you were given]
And you filled up our hearts with your smile -D

Days turn to years and the tears of lamentation
Flow to a place where the waters run clear
Turning the tides to a new celebration
For a love that will always be here -D
Repeat Chorus
