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

A# A#/A Gm F D# F A# A#/A A#
D# Dm Cm Dm D# F
D# Dm Cm F
A# A#/A Gm F
You come home from work
D# F
and you kiss me on the eye
D# Dm Cm F
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
A# A#/A Gm F
and so we move all to the garden
D# F
look at everything we've owned
D# Dm
now the kids are coming home
Cm Dm D# F
so I set the table
A#
You can make the fire
