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 fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon,
We should live
/ /
until we die.
/
We were barely eighteen 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 will never leave your side.
/ /
/
It was the winter of '86, and 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 nearly lost you
/
When the doctors tried to take you away.
/
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
thirty years ago
to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til 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'll never leave your side.
/ /
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
/ /
/ /
/ /
/
You come home from work
and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
/
and so we move all to the garden
look at everything we've owned
now the kids are coming home
so I set the table
You can make the fire.
