There 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, Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by.
Refrain: Going by, going by, Going by, going by; Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by.
There’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; Oh, the world is full of sighs, Full of sad and weeping eyes; Help your fallen brother rise, While the days are going by.
All 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.
