[Verse]
C C/B Am
Slow down,
G F G
we've got time left to be lazy
C C/B Am G F G
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
C C/B Am G F G
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
F Em
I don't care to beg your pardon,
Dm G
We should live
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
until we die.
[Chorus]
C C/B Am Em F G
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
F Em Dm G
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
C C/B Am
and then you turned, put out your hand,
G F G
and you asked me to dance.
F Em Dm G
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
[Verse]
F G C C/B Am G
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
F G C C/B Am G
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
F G
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
C C/B Am
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
F G C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C C/B Am Em F G
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
F Em Dm G
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
C C/B Am G
and now he's turning to a man,
F G
although he thinks just like his mother,
F Em Dm G
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
C C/B Am
And even though she moved away,
G F G
we always get calls from our daughter.
F Em
She has eyes just like her father's
Dm G
they are blue when skies are grey
C C/B Am G
And just like him, she never stops,
F G
Never takes the day for granted,
F Em
works for everything that's handed to her,
Dm G
Never once complains.
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am G
You think that I nearly lost you
F G C C/B Am G
When the doctors tried to take you away.
F G C C/B Am G
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
F G
thirty years ago
C
to this day
F G
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
C C/B Am
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
F G C C/B Am
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
F G C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.

F Em Dm G
[Verse]
C C/B Am G
You come home from work
F G
and you kiss me on the eye
F Em Dm G
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
C C/B Am G
and so we move all to the garden
F G
look at everything we've owned
F Em
now the kids are coming home
Dm Em F G
so I set the table
C
You can make the fire.
