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 bake your pot and 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 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 will just buy you
a rose I will buy the flower shop and you will never
be lonely Even if the sun stopped 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 eighty -six, 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 grey
And just like him, she never stops, never takes the day for granted
Works for everything that's handed to her, never wants complaints
And you think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away
Like the night you took my hand beside a fire thirty years ago
And to this day, you swore you'd be here till we decide that it's our time
But it's not time, you never quit in all your life
So just take my hand, you 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 dog, you say that I should never feed them
What is ours? And so we move out to the garden
Look at everything we've grown, and the kids are coming home
So I set the table, you can make the fire
