Slow down

we''ve got time

left to be lazy

All the kids

are bloom 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 crossed

collective hearts

It was cold

but it got warm

when you barely

crossed my eye

And 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

For even if the sun

stops waking up

over the fields

I will not leave

I will not leave

til it''s on time

So just take my hand

you know that

I will never

leave your side

It was the

winter of 86

all the fields

had frozen over

So we moved to

Arizona to save

our only son

And now he''s

turned into a man

though 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 gray

And just like him

she never stops

never takes the

day for granted

Works for everything

that''s handed to her

never once complained

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

Til this day

you swore

you''d be here

til we decide

that it''s our time

But it''s not time

you never quit

in all your life

So just take my hand

and know that

I will never

leave your side

You''re the love

of my life

you know that

I will never

leave your side

You come home

from work

and you kiss me

on the eye

You curse the dogs

you say that

I should never

feed them

what is ours

So we move out

to the garden

look at everything

we''ve grown

And the kids

are coming home

so I''ll set the table

you can make the fire
