Bb Bb/A Gm
Slow down,
F Eb F
we've got time left to be lazy
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
Eb Dm
I don't care to beg your pardon,
Cm F
We should live
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
until we die.
Bb Bb/A Gm Dm Eb F
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
Eb Dm Cm F
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
Bb Bb/A Gm
and then you turned, put out your hand,
F Eb F
and you asked me to dance.
Eb Dm Cm F
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Eb F
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
Bb Bb/A Gm
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
Bb Bb/A Gm Dm Eb F
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
Eb Dm Cm F
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F
and now he's turning to a man,
Eb F
although he thinks just like his mother,
Eb Dm Cm F
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
Bb Bb/A Gm
And even though she moved away,
F Eb F
we always get calls from our daughter.
Eb Dm
She has eyes just like her father's
Cm F
they are blue when skies are grey
Bb Bb/A Gm F
And just like him, she never stops,
Eb F
Never takes the day for granted,
Eb Dm
works for everything that's handed to her,
Cm F
Never once complains.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
You think that I nearly lost you
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
When the doctors tried to take you away.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Eb F
thirty years ago
Bb
to this day
Eb F
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Bb Bb/A Gm
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Bb Bb/A Gm F
You come home from work
Eb F
and you kiss me on the eye
Eb Dm Cm F
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
Bb Bb/A Gm F
and so we move all to the garden
Eb F
look at everything we've owned
Eb Dm
now the kids are coming home
Cm Dm Eb F
so I set the table
Bb
You can make the fire.
