Lyrics

Slow down, we've time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes
Oh we 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 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

And all this talk I know, I'm fallin' in over
It's the love we used to know inside and out
I don't wanna go too far if I just can't go on
I got your love I understand what I have done
And you take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side

It was the winter of '86, all the fields have 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 complains

You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away
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
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

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
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
