Down by the Old Mill Stream

"Down by the Old Mill Stream" is a song briefly featured in the 2003 film The Haunted Mansion, based on the Disney theme park attraction of the same name. The song was written by Tell Taylor in 1908 and became one of the most popular songs of the early 20th century, selling over four million copies of its sheet music. The song is a sentimental ballad about a man who reminisces about his first love by the old mill stream, where he met her when she was sixteen and he was her village queen.
==Lyrics==
My darling I am dreaming, of days gone by,
When you and I were sweethearts, beneath the summer sky;
Your hair has turned to silver, the gold has faded too;
But still I will remember, where I first met you
Down by the old mill stream, where I first met you,
With your eyes of blue, dressed in gingham too,
It was there I knew, that you loved me true,
You were sixteen, my village queen, by the old mill stream,
Down by the stream
The old mill wheel is silent, and has fallen down,
The old oak tree has withered, and lies there on the ground;
While you and I are sweethearts, the same as days of yore;
Although we've been together, forty years and more
