文本歌词

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 until 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 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
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
But it's not time
You've 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 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
