Slow down
we've got time
left to be lazy
All the kids have
bloomed from babies
into flowers
in our eyes
We've got
50 good years
left to spend out
in the garden
I don't care to
beg your pardon
We should live
untill we die
We were barely 18
when we'd crossed
collective hearts
It was cold
but it got warm
when you'd barely
crossed my eye
and then you turned
put out your hand
and you asked me
to dance
I knew nothing
of romance
but it was love
at second sight
I swear
when I grow up
I won't just
buy you a rose
I will buy the
flower shop
and you will
never be lonely
Even if the sun
stops waking up
over the fields
I will not leave
I will not leave
till it's our time
So just
take my hand
you know that I
I will never
leave your side
It was the winter
86
all the fields
had frozen over
So we moved to
Arizona to save
our only son
and now he's
turning to a man
although he thinks
just like his mother
he believes we're
all just lovers
he sees hope
in everyone
And even though
she moved away
we always get calls
from our daughter
She has eyes just
like her father's
they are blue
when skies are grey
And just like him
she never stops
Never takes the
day for granted
works for
everything that's
handed to her
Never once complains
You think that
I near
I nearly lost you
When the doctors
tried to
take you away
But like the night
you took my hand
beside the fire
30 years ago
to this day
You swore you'd be
here till we decide
that it's our time
Well it's not time
you've never quit
in all your life
So just
take my hand
you know that I
I'll never
leave your side
You're the love
of my life
you know that
I'll never
leave your side
And you come home
from work and
you kiss me
on the eye
You curse the dogs
and say that
I should never
feed them
what is ours
So we move out
to the garden
and look at
everything
we have grown
and the kids are
coming home
I'll set the table
and you can
make the fire
