BbBb/AGm Slow down, FEbF we've got time left to be lazy BbBb/AGmFEbF All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes. BbBb/AGmFEbF We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden EbDm I don't care to beg your pardon, CmF We should live BbBb/AGmFEbFBbBb/ABb until we die.
[Chorus]
BbBb/AGmDmEbF We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts. EbDmCmF It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye. BbBb/AGm and then you turned, put out your hand, FEbF and you asked me to dance. EbDmCmF I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
[Verse]
EbFBbBb/AGmF I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. EbFBbBb/AGmF I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely. EbF Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields BbBb/AGm I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time. EbFBbBb/AGmFEbFBbBb/ABb So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.

[Verse]
BbBb/AGmDmEbF It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over. EbDmCmF So we moved to Arizona to save our only son BbBb/AGmF and now he's turning to a man, EbF although he thinks just like his mother, EbDmCmF he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
BbBb/AGm And even though she moved away, FEbF we always get calls from our daughter. EbDm She has eyes just like her father's CmF they are blue when skies are grey BbBb/AGmF And just like him, she never stops, EbF Never takes the day for granted, EbDm works for everything that's handed to her, CmF Never once complains.
[Chorus]
EbFBbBb/AGmF You think that I nearly lost you EbFBbBb/AGmF When the doctors tried to take you away. EbFBbBb/AGmF But like the night you took my hand beside the fire EbF thirty years ago Bb to this day EbF You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time BbBb/AGm Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life. EbFBbBb/AGm So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side. EbFBbBb/AGmFEbFBbBb/ABb You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
BbBb/AGmF You come home from work EbF and you kiss me on the eye EbDmCmF You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours BbBb/AGmF and so we move all to the garden EbF look at everything we've owned EbDm now the kids are coming home CmDmEbF so I set the table Bb You can make the fire.
