So he's retired 
 lives with his sister in a furnished flat 
 he's got this suit that 
 he'll never wear outside without a hat 
 his hair is white but he looks half his age 
 he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days. 
 [Chorus] 
 and honestly, I might be 
 stupid to think love is love but I do 
 and you've waited so long and 
 I've waited long enough for you. 
 My mother's calling 
 from where she's living up in Troy, Vermont 
 she tries to tell me 
 a father figure must be what I want 
 I've always thought age makes no difference 
 am I the only one to whom that's making sense? 
 [Chorus] 
 And honestly, I might be 
 stupid to think love is love but I do 
 and you've waited so long and 
 I've waited long enough for you. 
 The day I met him he was raking leaves
 in his tiny yard. 
 Of course I know that 
 we've only got ten years, or twenty, left 
 but to be honest 
 I'm happy with whatever time we get 
 depending on which book you read 
 sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need. 
 [Chorus] 
 And honestly, I might be 
 stupid to think love is love but I do 
 and you've waited so long and 
 I've waited long enough for you. 
 [Chorus] 
 honestly, I might be 
 stupid to think love is love but I do 
 and you've waited so long and 
 I've waited long enough for you
