While the Days Are Going By

1There are lonely hearts to cherish, While the days are going by; There are weary souls who perish, While the days are going by; If a smile we can renew, As our journey we pursue, O, the good we all may do, While the days are going by!

RefrainGoing by, going by, O, the good we all may do, While the days are going by! Going by, going by, O, the good we all may do, While the days are going by!

2There's no time for idle scorning, While the days are going by; Let your face be like the morning, While the days are going by; All the loving links that bind us, One by one we leave behind us, But the seeds of good we sow, Both in shade and shine will grow, And will keep our hearts aglow, While the days are going by!

3All the loving links that bind us, While the days are going by; One by one we leave behind us, While the days are going by; But the seeds of good we sow, Both in shade and shine will grow, And will keep our hearts aglow, While the days are going by!
