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

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