While the Days Are Going By | George Cooper

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
