Lyrics
HOPE
This is what we always wanted
To be side by side as we grow old
Chatting each evening, on the porch swing
As we watch the days unfold
All of the lines and the wrinkles
Make a map of our lows and our highs
I love your crow's-feet and your laugh lines
And the deep brown of your eyes
The way I can nestle my head in your shoulder and it fits so perfectly
The way that your arms can encircle my waist when you're standing next to me
The way we fit better, shorter and fatter than we ever used to be
Every so often I notice
Your hair has a new strand of grey
Can't remember if I've told you
You still take my breath away
If you don't hear so well, you can lean close when we're talking, am I right?
If you don't walk so well, we can just sit here and kiss in the twilight
And if we don't remember so much any more, we can dwell on the highlights
We don't have to be exciting
We don't have to run around
We don't have to dance the night away
We can be gentle
We can be still
You've always been gentle
And I always will
Love you
I still love you
This is what we always wanted
To be side by side as we grow old
Chatting each evening, on the porch swing
As we watch the days unfold
All of the lines and the wrinkles
Make a map of our lows and our highs
I love your crow's-feet and your laugh lines
And the deep brown of your eyes
The way I can nestle my head in your shoulder and it fits so perfectly
The way that your arms can encircle my waist when you're standing next to me
The way we fit better, shorter and fatter than we ever used to be
Every so often I notice
Your hair has a new strand of grey
Can't remember if I've told you
You still take my breath away
If you don't hear so well, you can lean close when we're talking, am I right?
If you don't walk so well, we can just sit here and kiss in the twilight
And if we don't remember so much any more, we can dwell on the highlights
We don't have to be exciting
We don't have to run around
We don't have to dance the night away
We can be gentle
We can be still
You've always been gentle
And I always will
Love you
I still love you
