- Hair Of Spun Gold Lyrics / with translationsWhen I was just the age of five,
My world had just come alive.
Wond'rous things to be seen and be done,
All that I could think of was fun.
With hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red,
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea.
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.
And when I was just thirteen years of age,
Goin' steady was all the rage.
My mama picked me out the cutest boy,
My little, leather-jacketed toy.
Until spun gold turned to black as night,
Lips of ruby red were turned to pale pink.
And 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.
And now I'm twenty-one,
Now I feel my life's over and done.
And I'm lookin' down on my little child,
Wond'rin', wond'rin', if she'll be so wild.
She's got hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red.
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea.
And I'm lookin' 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.
They'll be 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.
My world had just come alive.
Wond'rous things to be seen and be done,
All that I could think of was fun.
With hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red,
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea.
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.
And when I was just thirteen years of age,
Goin' steady was all the rage.
My mama picked me out the cutest boy,
My little, leather-jacketed toy.
Until spun gold turned to black as night,
Lips of ruby red were turned to pale pink.
And when I was fifteen years of age,
And when fifteen years of age,
In my arms I held my babe.
And now I'm twenty-one,
Now I feel my life's over and done.
And I'm lookin' down on my little child,
Wond'rin', wond'rin', if she'll be so wild.
She's got hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red.
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea.
And I'm lookin' 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.
They'll be 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.
