/ / / / / Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy / All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes. / We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden I don't care to beg your pardon, We should live / / until we die. / We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts. It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye. / and then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance. I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight. / I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. / I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely. Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields / I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time. / / So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side. / / / It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over. So we moved to Arizona to save our only son / and now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother, he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone. / And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter. She has eyes just like her father's they are blue when skies are grey / And just like him, she never stops, Never takes the day for granted, works for everything that's handed to her, Never once complains. / You think that I nearly lost you / When the doctors tried to take you away. / But like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago to this day You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time / Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life. / So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side. / / You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side. / / / / / / / You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours / and so we move all to the garden look at everything we've owned now the kids are coming home so I set the table You can make the fire. by: Allan Lauzid
