[00:12.270] Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
[00:17.296] All the kids are bloom from babies into flowers in our eyes
[00:22.086] We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
[00:27.493] I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die
[00:40.436] We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts
[00:45.396] It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye
[00:50.262] And then you turned, put out your hand and you asked me to dance
[00:55.299] I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight
[01:01.040] I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose
[01:08.852] I will buy the flower shop and you will never be lonely
[01:16.804] For even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
[01:21.071] I will not leave, I will not leave till it's on time
[01:27.449] So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side
[01:38.374] It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over1986
[01:48.272] So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
[01:52.968] And now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother
[01:58.542] He believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone
[02:03.354] And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter
[02:09.047] She has eyes just like her father's, they are blue when skies are gray
[02:14.384] And just like him she never stops, never takes the day for granted
[02:19.467] Works for everything that's handed to her, never once complained
[02:25.233] You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away
[02:40.696] But like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago
[02:51.561] To this day, you swore you'd be here till we decide that it's our time
[03:01.100] But it's not time, you never quit in all your life
[03:07.761] So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side
[03:18.555] You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side
[03:57.188] You come home from work, and you kiss me on the eye
[04:02.090] You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours
[04:07.837] And so we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown
[04:12.456] And the kids are coming home so I'll set the table; you can make the fire
