Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?
Composer(s): J.J. Walker; Ernest R. Ball
Performer(s): Joan Morris & William Bolcom



Now in the summer of life sweetheart
You say you love but me
Gladly I give all my heart to you
Throbbing with ecstacy
But last night I saw while a dreaming
The future old and gray
And I wondered if you'll love me then dear
Just as you do today

You say the glow on my cheek sweetheart
Is like the rose so sweet
But when the bloom of fair youth has flown
Then will our lips still meet? 
When life's setting sun fades away dear
And all is said and done
Will your arms still entwine and caress me
Will our hearts beat as one?

Will you love me in the December as you do in May
Will you love me in the good old fashioned way? 
When my hair has turned all gray
Will you kiss me then and say
That you love me in December as you do in May?
