[00:09.72] Slow down,
[00:11.92] we've got time left to be lazy
[00:14.31] All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
[00:18.87] We've got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden
[00:24.38] I don't care to beg your pardon,
[00:26.18] We should live until we die.
[00:32.68]
[00:35.94] We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts.
[00:41.04] It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
[00:45.26] and then you turned, put out your hand,
[00:47.73] and you asked me to dance.
[00:50.34] I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
[00:54.60]
[00:55.52] I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
[01:02.55] I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
[01:09.79] Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
[01:14.13] I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
[01:19.19] So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
[01:26.15]
[01:33.32] It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
[01:38.36] So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
[01:42.92] and now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother,
[01:47.90] he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
[01:52.30]
[01:52.71] And even though she moved away,
[01:54.78] we always get calls from our daughter.
[01:57.62] She has eyes just like her father's
[01:59.94] they are blue when skies are grey
[02:02.10] And just like him, she never stops,
[02:04.18] Never takes the day for granted,
[02:07.37] works for everything that's handed to her,
[02:09.73] Never once complains.
[02:12.02]
[02:12.56] You think that I nearly lost you
[02:19.40] When the doctors tried to take you away.
[02:26.13] But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
[02:33.71] 30 years ago to this day
[02:40.91] You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
[02:45.23] Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
[02:50.48] So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
[02:59.90] You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
[03:06.84]
[03:35.99] You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
[03:40.62] You curse the dogs and say that I should never feed them what is ours
[03:45.87] and the kids are coming home
[03:54.32] I'll set the table
[03:56.86] You can make the fire.
[04:01.08]
