[Verse 1]
When I was just the age of five
My world had just come live
Wondrous things to be seen and be done
All that I could think of was fun

[Chorus]
With hair of spun gold
Lips of ruby red
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

[Verse 2]
And when I was just the age of ten
My life, it did change again
I threw away all my childish toys
And worked on getting noticed by the boys

[Verse 3]
And when I was just thirteen years of age
Going steady was all the rage
Mama picked me out the cutest little boy
My little leather-jacketed toy

[Chorus]
And hair of spun gold
Turnеd to black as night
Lips of ruby red were turnеd to pale pink
[Verse 4]
When now, when I was fifteen years of age
He had my hand in marriage
And when fifteen years of age
In my arms I held my babe

[Verse 5]
And now I'm twenty-one
You know, I feel my life's over and done
And I'm looking down on my little child
Wondering if she'll be so wild

[Chorus]
She's got hair of spun gold
Lips of ruby red
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

[Outro]
And I'm looking down on my child
I swear she'll have the time
There'll be time to love
There'll be time to learn
For childish memories she won't yearn
Time to laugh
We'll find time to play
She won't have to throw her toys away
I swear to you
We'll wait for time to take its time
