[00:09.68]Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
[00:13.91]All the kids are bloom from babies into flowers in our eyes
[00:18.01]
[00:18.51]We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
[00:22.95]I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die
[00:31.78]
[00:34.79]We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts
[00:39.54]It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye
[00:44.04]And you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance
[00:48.54]I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight
[00:52.79]
[00:53.41]I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose
[00:59.23]
[01:01.10]I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely
[01:06.92]
[01:09.48]For even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
[01:12.73]I will not leave, I will not leave 'til it's on time
[01:17.54]
[01:19.23]So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side
[01:29.74]
[01:33.30]It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over
[01:38.18]So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
[01:42.68]And now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother
[01:47.49]He believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone
[01:51.18]And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter
[01:56.37]She has eyes just like her father's, they are blue when skies are gray
[02:01.37]And just like him she never stops, never takes the day for granted
[02:06.08]Works for everything that's handed to her, never once complained
[02:10.27]
[02:11.27]You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away
[02:24.49]
[02:25.99]But like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago
[02:34.63]
[02:37.13]'Til this day, you swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
[02:44.88]But it's not time, you never quit in all your life
[02:49.51]
[02:51.69]So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side
[03:01.76]
[03:04.57]You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side
[03:12.62]
[03:40.55]You come home from work, and you kiss me on the eye
[03:45.11]You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours
[03:49.80]So we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown
[03:54.37]And the kids are coming home so I'll set the table; you can make the fire
