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 ’86 , 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 .

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 .
